God's Qualifications for a Pastor

Pastor John gave a dynamic and fast-paced sermon about the process of finding a new senior pastor for our church. He highlighted the steps our church is taking, from profiling the right candidate and evaluating their conversion, calling, and convictions, to recognizing their character, competence, and compassion. Pastor John emphasized that the goal is to find God's chosen leader, not just a good fit, but someone truly called to shepherd our congregation. It's a roller coaster ride, as he puts it, but one that we are navigating with faith and patience. The core message is clear: we're committed to bringing in a pastor who aspires to nurture our spiritual growth through a genuine connection with Christ.
