What makes a church truly healthy?
Many people measure the strength of a church by attendance, budgets, buildings, influence, or programs. But in 1 Peter 5:1-5, Peter points us to something much deeper. A healthy church is formed when shepherds and sheep both embrace Christ's design with humility.
In this sermon, Pastor Dan examines:
- The biblical role of elders and pastors
- Why church membership and spiritual oversight matter
- Christ as the Chief Shepherd of His Church
- The calling and character of faithful pastors
- The responsibility of church members toward their leaders
- The relationship between humility and grace
- What makes a church healthy, resilient, and enduring
Whether you are a pastor, elder, ministry leader, or church member, this message will challenge you to examine your role in Christ's design for His church.
