1 Peter 5:1-4 - “To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.”This passage provides guidelines for pastors and ministers.

What Is Salvation? – Learning from 1 Peter
Posted on November 25th, 2008 No comments
1 Peter 1:8-11 – “…Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow…”Salvation is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Salvation is central to the message of any church that preaches the gospel. The Bible teaches that salvation is available only through Jesus Christ, not through whatever religion we choose.
