Summary

As we continue in our series, “Forged,” JP reminds us that humility is key for a healthy church body. JP looks to 1 Peter to show us how church elders and members must serve one another with an eager heart.

1 Peter 5:1-5

1) For the church to work, you must have humble elders

2) Church leaders must serve with humble motives

3) For church to work, you must have humble members

Life Group Questions:

1) How have you seen the church impacted in a positive way through our elders?

2) How can you grow in serving one another in humility?

3) Do you find yourself convicted of consumerism? What are ways that your output can be greater than your input?
