Daily Devotions: Motivations for Preaching - August 27, 2025

Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 2:17 In today’s message, Pastor Sumrall shares Paul’s powerful reminder about the true motivation of ministry. Unlike those who preach for personal profit, Paul declared: “We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.” Discover why offerings should always lead hearts toward God, not toward individuals. Learn the dangers of giving directly to personalities instead of to the work of the Kingdom, and how our hearts follow our treasure (Matthew 6:21). Pastor also explains why, at COP, offerings are never taken for personal use—because true ministry points people to Jesus, not to self. Young pastors are reminded: every sermon you preach, God is watching. Preach with sincerity, grace, and integrity, knowing you stand before Him as you serve His people. ----- 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.
