Their responsibility to guide and lead the church under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Last week we looked at the roles of deacons. They are the servants in the church. Their role is to make sure that the various ministries are going, allowing the elders to fulfill their main role. Today we come to everyone’s favorite role, the minister! What does the Bible say they roll of the minister is? Let’s find out…

Sep 20, 2020Confessions of a Minister: Sometimes I Don’t Want To ObeyBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsToday we come to the last confession. And this one really hit close to home. See we have a new puppy. His name is Charlie. Now he is cute and fun and full of energy. We are working on training him and teaching him a few commands. However, Charlie is not a big fan of obeying. He will IF he gets a reward for obeying, but if there is nothing in it for him then he really doesn’t want to obey. And sometimes, I hate to admit, I am just like Charlie. In today’s Confessions of a Minister: we find out that Sometimes I Don’t Want To Obey. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #BeIntentionalin2020 #ConfessionsOfAMinister #SometimesIDon’tWantToObey

Sep 13, 2020Confessions of a Minister: Sometimes I Have DoubtsBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsToday we are filled with so many different ideas, so many different theories, different perspectives, that many times we don’t know which is right or true. We doubt what is true. Sometimes I have doubts. Sometimes I doubt the news. Sometimes I doubt people’s sincerity. Sometimes I doubt people’s commitment. Sometimes I doubt others faith. But to be brutally honest, sometimes I have doubts about God. This is my confession, Confessions of a Minister: Sometimes I Have Doubts. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #BeIntentionalin2020 #ConfessionsOfAMinister #SometimesIHaveDoubts

- Aug 23, 2020Confessions of a Minister: Sometimes I Don’t Like People
Aug 23, 2020Confessions of a Minister: Sometimes I Don’t Like PeopleBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past Sermons“As we continue in this sermon series, Confessions of a Minster, we come to today’s confession, Sometimes I Don’t Like People. Sometimes, people are just difficult to live with. They do such stupid things that cause us to be irritated, frustrated, and make us just not like them. Such as, why do some people insist on going past first few slices in a loaf of bread and grab the third or fourth one in? Why do people leave half a swallow in the milk jug? Why do people park in two spaces at once? Besides all the foolish things people do in general there are the church people. Christians can be judgmental and unforgiving. Christians can be condescending. Christians can be arrogant and selfish. Christians can be just plain weird. But worst of all some Christians can be hypocritical. Which led me to ask, “Did Jesus sometimes not like people?” WHAT? Were there times when Jesus thought, “I don’t like you”?” Check out this confession of Donny’s and see what God reveals. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #BeIntentionalin2020 #ConfessionsOfAMinister #SometimesIDontLikePeople

Aug 16, 2020Confessions of a Minister: Sometimes I Feel InadequateBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past Sermons“Moses protested to God that he could not communicate well. Gideon hid in a wine press. Saul hid among the suitcases and baggage from those who were to make him king. Solomon humbly prayed for wisdom because he recognized the enormity of the task. Peter, in anguish on the beach with Jesus could not bring himself to say use the agape word. Saul cried out that he was the chief of all sinners. And sometimes I feel inadequate to the calling God has for me. However…” In today’s message, Confessions of a Minister, we hear how Donny addresses his feelings of inadequacy and how we ourselves can hear God’s calling and answer it. #stjoecofc #ComeAndSee #BeIntentionalin2020 #ConfessionsOfAMinister #SometimesIFeelInadequate
