JESUS IS KING. This morning we examines 1 Peter 5:6-14, addressing how believers can navigate a broken world while belonging to God. It explores Peter's three key commands: humbling oneself under God's mighty hand, being alert to sin's deceptions, and resisting the devil through faith and fellowship. Ultimate restoration comes from God Himself. God will restore, strengthen, establish, and secure those who trust in Him, both in this life and eternally.

This week we look at 1 Peter 5:1-5, focusing on how Christians can support each other in the challenging task of trusting God and doing good amid suffering. The pastor begins by recapping the previous sermon's message from 1 Peter 4:19 and acknowledging the difficulty of following this instruction. The main message centers on how Jesus helps struggling believers through mature Christians who act as shepherds to God's flock. The sermon provides instructions for these 'shepherds' to care willingly and eagerly for those under their influence, serving as examples rather than domineering leaders. There's a massive important for mutual support and humility within the church community, encouraging all to help each other and accept help, with the promise of God's favor to the humble. www.bbcconline.com/sermons/message-how-he-leads-how-we-follow-1-peter-5-1-5---sam-sutter
