Pastor Appreciation Sunday 2025

October 19, 2025

In this message from Matthew 4, Brother Austin marks Pastor Appreciation Sunday by reflecting on his own journey into ministry and the call to total surrender. Using the example of the first disciples, we are challenged to examine our own "nets"—the things we depend on for comfort and security—and whether we are willing to leave them behind to follow Christ. 

True discipleship goes beyond a Sunday routine; it is an everyday commitment to being "fishers of men." From our work ethic in the office to the way we raise our children, every aspect of our lives should be an overflow of our walk with Jesus.
