Elders In ExileSeries: 1 PeterPreacher: Jared BlankenshipDate: 17th May 2026Passage: 1 Peter 5:1-5-------------------God's good gifts to His people in this life include the community of the local church and spiritual leaders called to care for our souls. It is essential that those leaders rightly care for God's people and that churches appropriately submit to those who faithfully fulfill the task. The text is written for the edification of the entire congregation, for churches must rightly understand the role of elders, what qualifies a man to serve as one, and how they are to then relate to those they call to fill the office.
