10/26/25 - Your Role in God’s Story - 1 Peter 5:1-5 - Pastor Jason Fritz


Listen Later

This Sunday, we are nearing the end of our series in 1 Peter, a letter that has guided us through the challenges of living faithfully in a world that often opposes God. We’ll reflect on the first half of chapter 5, where Peter encourages church leaders to shepherd with humility and integrity, and calls all believers to follow God’s appointed leadership with trust and joy. As we explore these truths, we’ll see how the roles of leader and follower work together to strengthen the church, and how God uses each of us in His plan.


I’ll also be highlighting Hebrews 13:17, reminding us that our leaders watch over our souls and that our attitude toward them - whether joyful, respectful, and trusting or grumbling and resistant - directly impacts the health and joy of our church family. We’ll draw lessons from the story of Israel in the wilderness, their struggles with trust and submission, and how God’s people can learn to respond in humility, bring their concerns respectfully, and grow together in faith.


As we prepare our hearts this week, I encourage you to reflect on your place in the church. Are you stepping into your role, whether as a leader, a follower, or a servant, with trust, humility, and joy? I look forward to gathering with you this Sunday to celebrate God’s faithfulness, learn from His Word, and encourage one another to live faithfully in our community and in the world.
