Right Hearts for Hard Times

1 Peter 5:1-14

Full Service

Therefore in light of Christ’s declaration of war on sin…we need to get good at handling the church, Christ loves, and the devil, whose works Jesus came to destroy!

1. Handle the structures within the community with great care (1-7).

High values to the Lord— 1) Structure and not chaos, 2) Proper behaviour together.

To the elders… BE SHEPHERDS-feed and lead

  • Be willing, not resentful
  • Be eager, not greedy
  • Be an example, not a lord

To the young men…BE SUBMISSIVE TO ELDERS

To everyone…HUMBLE YOURSELVES UNDER GOD’S MIGHTY HAND

2. Expect a fight with the devil (8-11).

Watch out—the enemy is looking to exploit unguarded moments

Resist—devil repellent is truth with trust

Restoration Awaits—you are called to victory and not loss
