Scripture lesson: 1 Peter 5:1-4 Humble leadership
Scripture lesson: This passage has challenging instructions on how to be a good leader.
Time to reflect: Which aspect of Christian leadership is hard for you? Not under compulsion? Not for gain? Eagerly? Not lording it over them? Being an example? Pray about this.
1 Peter 5
To Elders and Young Men
1To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ's sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
