Pastor John MacArthur
On Sunday, pastor John MacArthur of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California missed the second church service due to an illness. His absence drew concern from the congregation. According to the claims of a church’s elders, the pastor has been under the weather for the past week.
“Just so you know, Pastor John had a bug this week and preached our first hour but asked if he might be able to take a break for the second hour. So Mike Riccardi is going to be answering the call. It’s pretty amazing we have guys with sermons in their Bibles wherever you go, and so Mike’s going to be here,” the Great Community Church elder said.
