“You cannot be in the presence of God and be bored at the same time.” – Mark Batterson- Lead Pastor
A verse in the Bible says: “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” (Jeremiah 3:15). God calls pastors to take responsibility for mankind’s prosperity. Pastors are preachers; hence they are called the “Word of God.” They have been given the accountability to teach God’s message and have been called to care for God’s flock. Being a pastor is a remarkable job as it is the highest calling from God in His ministry.
“Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.” (Proverbs 27:23)
A pastor’s divine duty is to guide God’s people and instruct them toward spiritual fulfillment and understanding of His plan for their lives. They have served themselves as people’s Saviors by leading the sacrificial and devoted life to God. A pastor’s role extends beyond that of a preacher. They also serve as a counselor, chaplain, friend, referee, administrator, and teacher. To effectively guide their flock, pastors must provide tangible examples for their community to follow. And one such example of a pastor is Michael Thomas Signorelli Jr., better known as Mike Signorelli, A fervent individual who tirelessly shares the word of God through various means.
Signorelli is a pastor, author, International Bible teacher, content creator, philanthropist, and theologian expert. All his career paths converge at one precise point, i.e., spreading God’s love and message to disheartened and vulnerable people. Signorelli is a founder and Lead Pastor of V1 Church. He established the church with his wife, Julie Signorelli, during their relief tour to New York when Hurricane Sandy hit the city.
