What does faithful leadership look like in the church, and who is ultimately responsible for caring for God's people?
In 1 Peter 5:1–7, Peter calls church leaders to shepherd God's flock willingly, eagerly, and humbly, following the example of Jesus, the Chief Shepherd.
Pastor Jason Hudson explores how Christ's suffering, servant leadership, and promised return shape the way we lead and serve one another. These instructions extend beyond pastors and elders, calling every believer to humility, dependence upon Jesus, and trust in His care through suffering.
The church belongs to Jesus. He is the Chief Shepherd, and our calling is to become more like Him.
