What if you could shadow an experienced pastor to learn the ins and outs of one-another ministry? To notice how he encourages his people and prays earnestly for their growth in Christ. To see him as he lights up with joy over their growing faith. To watch him as he wades into thorny pastoral issues, including relational conflict, sexual sin, idolatry, hardships, and doctrinal controversies, all while modeling truth and love. To see him up close and personal, seeking to honor Christ and to persevere in joy amid a host of trials and weaknesses.
Wouldn't it be incredible to apprentice yourself to this servant leader who you know has been transformed from the inside-out by Jesus Christ? Well, you can. I can. All Christians can. Read the New Testament epistles of the apostle Paul, and you are signing up for a masterclass in one-another ministry, an apprenticeship in pastoral care. Paul’s letters are not doctrinal treatises; they are soul care in action, the right words at the right time for God's people struggling with both sin and suffering. The Bible is by nature practical theology. In Paul's epistles, we are seeing God's words applied to God's people in God's way, and Paul's message, manner, and ministry methodology are just as relevant today for believers who want to wisely care for others in Jesus's name. So please join us for CCEF's 2025 National Conference: To Live Is Christ: The Life & Ministry of Paul.
