Interview: Adrian Warnock recently interviewed Mark Dever. I have not yet had time to read the interview so have no commentary for you!

If we can only gain control over the situation, then we can ward off what frightens us and usher…

A Pastoral Prayer

Every now and again I like to share an example of a pastoral prayer from Grace Fellowship Church. I do this because there are few examples of pastoral prayers online and I thought these may serve to inspire themes, passages, or ideas as other pastors and elders prepare to lead their churches in prayer.
