Servant Leadership

1 Peter 5:1-5

 After his summation of how we are to view and endure suffering, Peter addresses the qualities of leadership which will be needed in the church as people face various trials. Though primarily directed to elders, he is really speaking to all of us since leaders are to be examples of faith for the church. Peter identifies himself as a fellow elder, a witness of the sufferings of Christ and as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed. He exhorts the leadership to:

Shepherd the Flock of God

Live Beyond Outward Morality

Embrace the Most Valuable Gain

Maintain Proper Perspective
