To Be a Messenger of the Lord of Hosts: Wake Up Call (Week 3)

Cuyahoga Valley Church Season 6 Episode 3

Rick Duncan exhorts new lead pastor Joe to never forget his simple identity as God’s beloved child amid the weight and busyness of ministry, drawing on Malachi 2’s portrait of the ideal priest to outline five pastoral essentials: heed your call, stand in awe of God, teach the unvarnished truth, walk closely with Him, and courageously call out sin. He reminds Joe—and all pastors—that though we will inevitably stumble, Christ’s perfect priesthood covers our failures and empowers us to flourish in life and peace as we shepherd God’s people.
