Getting Fed

One of the things that I really enjoy about being a pastor is the opportunity to preach.  I never cease to learn new things through my own preparation.  But the one thing that I really miss is getting fed spiritually by other preachers.  I sometimes download sermons but it is not the same as being there.  When I am off on a Sunday, we do not always get a chance to visit another church as most churches are not prepared for our childcare needs.  That is why this past Sunday was a treat.  At First Baptist Church we had Henry Grift, pastor at Sheffield Baptist Church in Halifax, preach.  Henry grew up at our church and he did a great job of reminding us of the comfort of God from 2 Corinthians.  In the evening, Woodford Baptist Church had their 154th anniversary service.  Our guest speaker was Keith Sweeting from First Baptist Church, Owen Sound.  Keith reminded us of the now of anniversaries from Philippians.  It was great to listen to both of these preachers and to sit under their teaching.  Next weekend I start two weeks of holidays and we will have two more talented preachers taking our pulpit.  Thank God for pastors who are willing to share the Word!
