ALL – Psalm 104:24-35
ALL – Proverbs 14:22-24
OT – Judges 19:1-20:48
NT – John 3:22-4:3
Interesting passage for the day: The crowds will naturally go to the main attraction—the bride will go where the bridegroom is! A bridegroom’s friends rejoice with him. I am the Bridegroom’s friend, and I am filled with joy at his success. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. – John 3:29-30, The Living Bible
Thought: Pointing people to the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, is sometimes difficult at this point in history, since they can’t see Him. Often people turn to their ministers for help—or to psychologists, self-help gurus, and other men and women who are supposed to have wisdom—rather than turning to Jesus Christ. But based on this passage, the successful minister of the gospel is someone who gladly sees people seeking Jesus Christ rather than him.
Question: What can pastors do to help point men, women and children to Jesus—even though people can’t currently see Him? What has most helped you to learn to depend on and seek Jesus Christ?

As I'm not a pastor, I can only speak as a member of a church that has one. I attend a Bible believing church, and he preaches that. The key for me then would be to get people into the church, so that he would have an impact on them.
That's terrific. Bringing people into a community of Christ-honoring believers with a Bible-preaching pastor is one solid way to point them to Jesus.
