Faithless Messengers

Yesterday’s sermon was about the faithlessness of the priest in carrying out one of their priestly duties, teaching the people the word of God (Deuteronomy 33:9-10).  They were God’s messengers, but instead had fallen away from the way in more ways than just this (Malachi 2:7-9).

Please pray that your pastor and your church does not do the same.   

Please pray along with your pastor the following prayers.(not sure where I got these, but they are not my own)
