Shepherd the Flock of God: A Plea for Biblical Eldership – 1 Peter 5:1-4

Elders labor together to shepherd God’s people and provide oversight for their spiritual good. The work requires those whose hearts are desirous of the labor, eager and zealous to serve, and whose lives are examples to the flock of godliness and piety. For such as these who faithfully and humbly serve, there is an eternal reward of glory.

This message was preached as part of the ordination service for Walt Boat, a non-vocational elder at First Baptist.
