1 Peter 5:1-5
1. In these four verses, Peter gives some direct teaching toward “elders” in the church. What is an Elder? (also read 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, Acts 20:13-38)
2. Why do you think he addresses elder here in this passage? What do good Elders have to do with remaining faithful and rejoicing in the midst of suffering?
3. According to 1 Peter 5:1-4, what are some of the characteristics of a good Elder?
4. Peter begins in 5:1 by appealing to them as “one of them.” What does this tell you about the nature of Christian leadership in the church?
5. 5:2 reminds the leaders in the churches that all the people (i.e. the flock) are God’s, not theirs. This is an extremely important reminder. What would be some of the implications if Christian leaders viewed their congregations as “theirs” not God’s?
