Living in Humility
Humility is a much-despised character trait. People are by nature self-centered. We have a hard time understanding why the rest of the world does not see things the way we do. We think everyone around us should focus on us when they are with us. Out of this self-centeredness comes fighting and contention. It destroys relationships and eats up families. It even makes its way into the church where it divides the body of Christ. When Christ came to earth, he showed us a different way to live. The Bible says that Christ humbled himself, became a man, and died on the cross for sins he did not commit. This type of humility provides a pattern for our own lives. Today, in 1 Peter 5:5-7, Peter calls on us as believers to live a life of humility towards God and others. While that will likely cost us something in this world, God promises that he cares for us, and one day he will exalt those who have humbled themselves before him. Let’s learn together how we can live in humility while trusting God and casting all our anxieties on him.

Pastoring When Suffering is Possible
With the prospect of suffering facing Christians, the role of the pastor takes on added significance. As the visible and vocal leader of the church, the pastor would no doubt increase his own chances of suffering. In addition to the prospect of personal suffering, the weight of leading a church of suffering people bears down on the pastor. As Peter begins his final section of the letter we call First Peter, he writes to his fellow pastors to encourage them to faithfully serve God by serving the church. He reminds them that the return of Christ will bring rewards to them for faithfully carrying out their duties. While most here this morning are not pastors, Peter’s teaching to pastors can help the church understand what to expect from your pastor, how to pray for your pastor, and how to help your pastor.

Trusting God With Your Soul
Throughout 1 Peter, we have seen the repeated theme that suffering is a part of the Christian life. Simply put, Jesus suffered in our place, but he did not suffer to give us a suffering-free life. He suffered to give us eternal hope. Many are unprepared for suffering in this life. Their faith is shaken by difficult times. In this midst of suffering, we must trust God with our soul, knowing that he who has saved us for all eternity will not abandon us for the present. He will make our suffering worthwhile.

Living in a Dying World - Part 3
Rather than focusing on ourselves and our own problems, God calls us to look outwardly to see how we can serve others, even in the midst of our own struggles and suffering. As we continue our teaching from 1 Peter this week, we see that the life of the believer is to be an outwardly-focused life, using the gifts and abilities that God has given us to serve others and bring glory to God. Today, check to see how faithfully you are using the gifts God has given you to honor God while serving others.
