Daily Devotions: Good Pastors Are Jealous for the Sheep - September 07, 2026

2 Corinthians 11:2 (NLT) – “For I am jealous for you with a jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride to one husband, Christ.”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall explores the concept of godly jealousy and the protective heart a true pastor must have for the sheep. Pastor Sumrall uses the Apostle Paul’s letters to the Corinthians to show how a spiritual leader acts as a "matchmaker" who introduces believers to Christ and guards their pure devotion from being corrupted by outside influences.   Pastor Sumrall explains that godly jealousy is not about human control, but about preserving an undivided devotion to Jesus Christ. He warns that believers must be discerning with what they listen to, rather than happily putting up with different doctrines or "super apostles" who seek personal attention. By remaining anchored in the simple truth of the Gospel, we guard our hearts from the slow, destructive decay of spiritual corruption. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
