Joel Coyoc's sermon titled "El llamamiento al ministerio pastoral" centers around the doctrine of divine providence as it relates to the pastoral calling. Coyoc asserts that God's providence is fundamental in confirming one’s calling to the ministry, illustrating this through the experiences of the Apostle Paul and the struggles faced in ministry, particularly adversities that accompany God's openings. He draws on 1 Corinthians 16:8-9, highlighting how God proactively orchestrates circumstances to empower servant leaders and providentially equips them for their roles. Coyoc emphasizes that success in ministry is defined not by numerical outcomes but by faithfulness to God’s calling. This doctrinal understanding is pivotal for the Reformed perspective on ministry, where reliance on God's sovereign will is paramount for validation and endurance in challenging times.
“No hay la buena suerte. Hay la buena providencia de Dios. Dios no hay nada que está al azar y ocurre por suerte.”
“El éxito en el ministerio es fidelidad, no números.”
“Si Jehová no edifica la casa, en vano trabajan los que la edifican.”
“Dios provee la competencia. Nuestra competencia... no es de nosotros, sino proviene de Dios.”
The Bible emphasizes that pastoral ministry is a divine calling confirmed by God through His providence and the church.
