And the pressure is on us today, my friends.

If we don't make us stand at work or in school or in the grocery store or wherever we may be,

then where is our faith in Jesus Christ?

How can we be witnesses or martyrs for Jesus Christ?

If they hate us, they hated him before they hated us.

We don't have to be afraid of that.

I am falling.

I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in love. I am falling in love with you.

Welcome to Somebody Lives You Radio, the Bible teaching ministry of Roll Rees in Diamond Bar, California.

Continuing our study of First Peter today, Roll will challenge us to live fruitful, uncompromising

lives for Jesus. In these last days, we may face hostility for our faith, but if we stand

firm in the gospel, God can work mightily through us to build

his kingdom. We don't have to be church leaders or missionaries. God can use our testimony to point

others to his salvation. Now in 1st Peter chapter 5, here's Roll Rees. Peter, in writing his epistle, he's writing to us in chapter 5, which now in chapter 5 is a special chapter,

because in chapter 5 he's going to be dealing with the elders.

And in chapter 5, verse 2, he's going to be dealing with pastors too.

And what's incredible is that this book not only gives us insight to the leadership of the church

in Peter's own time, but even in our own time today, when you look at the leadership

of the church today, many churches are failing in having good leadership.

And part of the problem is that you have to understand why do people coming to the ministry,

do they come for the money or that they come because they really have a call and anointing of God

in their lives.
