Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — As he closes his first letter with instructions for the church to help them endure times of suffering, Peter also describes a church family into which we would delight to invite our friends and family. In this family, God's household, elders lead out of a desire to serve God and his people, each person humbles themselves toward one another and toward God, God lifts up his people, his people resist the devil, and God strengthens us all. As we let our light shine for Jesus, it is into this joyful and hopeful community of people and all the promises of God that we invite those whom we serve as witnesses for Jesus. Text: 1 Peter 5
