About this message
Hebrews asks the church to let its leaders keep watch over souls with joy, not groaning. On the day Pastor Nikolay Kolesnik was ordained, Greg Gibson turns to Hebrews 13:17 and asks how a church can love its pastors. He gives ten ways, among them loving the gospel and the Bible, obeying its teaching, praying, doing the work of ministry, encouraging, providing, respecting their time, and following them as they follow Christ.
For anyone who wants to support and encourage their pastors well.
