Jonathan Shradar preaches in our Body Life series on 1 Peter 5:1-5. By the grace of God the church is led by those that are here, happy, and humble.

Sermon notes

Questions to keep the conversation going:

Why do we despise "authority" like we are prone to do?

How can we learn to trust authority in the church, and how guarded can we be before it distracts us from the purposes Jesus has called us to?

Why do we have a hard time opening our lives to others in the church, especially elders?

Would you describe our elders as happy? What are the signs of it and how do we play into their willing service?

How does our hope in Jesus equip us to be part of the church?
