Admonition to Elders
1 Therefore, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and as one who also shares in the glory that is about to be revealed, I appeal to the elders among you: 2 Shepherd God’s flock that is among you, serving as overseers, not grudgingly but willingly, as God desires, not because you are greedy for money but because you are eager to do it. 3 Do not lord it over those entrusted to your care, but be examples for the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive an unfading crown of glory.

Take a Moment to recall something from today’s message.
Ask Jesus to create for you opportunities to use your words,
activities and thoughts to glorify Him this week.

We value your friendship and the opportunity to share the love of Jesus together with you!
