Lord, Give Us Faithful Pastors - 1 Corinthians 4:1-5
In the name of Christ Jesus, the Lord and Captain of the Church, dear fellow redeemed, Are you familiar with performance reviews? We all undergo them. Some performance reviews are quite formal like the kind in the workplace where you sit down with a supervisor and review your performance over the past year. Students have regular performance reviews; they’re called quizzes and tests. We have performance reviews at home as the members of our family let us know how well we’re doing at being a parent or grandparent, a son or daughter, a husband or wife.

Just the Right Kind of Clothing! - Isaiah 61:10, & 62:1,3
Dear friends in Jesus Christ, perhaps you’ve noticed that second-hand clothing stores have been springing up all over the place. It used to be that those stores were just for the poor and the needy. But that’s no longer the case. If you get just the right pair of jeans with just the right holes, and just the right tears, well then, you are in fact just what the fashion doctor ordered.
