Daily Devotions: How to Think About Pastors – August 07, 2026

1 Corinthians 4:1 (NLT) – “So look at Apollos and me as mere servants of Christ who have been put in charge of explaining God’s mysteries.”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches on the proper biblical perspective regarding men and women of God, countering the modern "celebrity preacher" concept. Using the words of the Apostle Paul, he emphasizes that pastors should be viewed as mere servants of Christ who are entrusted as managers to explain God's mysteries.   Pastor Sumrall explains that God’s primary requirement for a leader is faithfulness, rather than popularity or business success. He encourages pastors and church members alike to focus on God's evaluation rather than human judgment, reminding us that only the Lord can truly examine the private motives of the heart and give the praise that is due. ---- 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.
