Philippians 2:1–2 (NLT) – “Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love?... Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with one another, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall addresses a question often asked out of love: "What can we do to make our pastors happy?" Turning to Philippians chapter 2, he shares the Apostle Paul's answer, explaining that nothing brings a spiritual leader greater joy than seeing God's people live in unity and love without strife or division.

Pastor Sumrall explains that just as parents delight in seeing their children bond happily together around a table, pastors are filled with joy when church members work together in harmony for God's kingdom. By putting away selfishness, humbling ourselves, and taking a genuine interest in others, we cultivate a healthy church family that honors God and brings true joy to leadership.
