A sermon delivered at the Pentecostal Theological Seminary chapel service on April 27, 2022. The Pentecostal middle way is not about moderation, or compromise. Rather, it’s about a radical faithfulness to covenant with God.
The Agony of Hermeneutics
Writing to the elders of the Ephesian Church the Apostle Paul declared, “I did not cease to admonish each one with tears” (Acts 20:31). Here Paul displays the pathos of the pastor. The pastor is called to faithfully preach and teach the Word of God and exercise profound compassion towards the people of God. The call to be a faithful teacher with a compassionate heart can be agonizing for the pastor and congregation.
