THE CROSS

“Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under you care,

First Peter 5:2-4

Intr:

serving as overseers –

1.  not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;

2.  not greedy for money, but eager to serve;

3.  not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples of the flock.

End:

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.”
