I Peter 5:1-5:4

Caring for God's People

The love of money is often times the world's motivation.... what is ours? We'll pursue that question here today on Bridging the Gap, as Pastor Lloyd Pulley picks up where he left off in his study of First Peter. We'll be in chapter five, examining the motivation for elders in the church, and it's a motivation that should exist in the life of every believer as well.

  1. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
  2. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
  3. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
  4. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
