1 Peter 5 - A Rotten Apple

Concluding our study over the first book Peter wrote, we wrap it up by discussing once again the concept of submission. Only this time, Peter is very specific for the paramount need for submission in the Church unto the Elders! You see, every chapter in this book deals with the concept of submission and the need for it to be established, and exercised, in the Church. For if one bad apple, insubordinate to the leadership of a Church, is allowed to remain, it can destroy the entire Fellowship. But before he delves into that, he uses a powerful exhortation to signify what it means to function properly as an Elder so that there will be a balance of humility among all towards one another! So whether you are part of the leadership in a Church, or under the leadership in a Church, this is a sermon you must listen to!
