Sermon Title - “The Perfect Pastor”

Theme - The story of Isaac searching for a wife is more than a story about boy meets girl. It’s a story within a story of how God is seeking to reclaim, redeem, and rescue the world through the covenant that was made with Abraham earlier in the Book of Genesis. This delightful story helps us to reflect on how God uses many different people to help accomplish a vital mission and ministry. There are no perfect pastors or perfect lay people – only faithful people who work toward the same purpose in the name of Jesus Christ.
