I was saddened to learn of Pastor Clarence Sexton's passing yesterday. He was a beloved figure in the Knoxville community and beyond, serving as the pastor of Temple Baptist Church, and president of Crown College.
The family has put out the following statement:
Our beloved Pastor’s faith has now become sight. He is in heaven in the arms of his Saviour. Our church family has been wonderful over the last several months by showing your concern for us, praying for us, encouraging us, and expressing your love to us. We respectfully ask that you would give Mrs. Sexton and the family the time they need to process and grieve their loss before you reach out with compassion and understanding. Pastor Sexton loved the families of the church, college, and academy. He could not wait to get back to see everyone, and though we prayed for his healing on earth, God has chosen to provide his healing in heaven. God’s ways are above our ways, and though our hearts are hurting, we choose to believe that God is still good. The family is grateful that he is in heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ where there is no sickness or sorrow. Funeral arrangements will be made in the coming days and we will keep you updated. There is no way that we can adequately express our thanks for your love and prayers at this time. God is with us, and we trust Him to help us in the days to come. -The Sexton Family
