Our Basic Calling as a Shepherd

 (ID: gs1456)

Failed or fallen pastors make many headlines. Faithful Gospel ministers, however, stay focused on their purpose of leading Christ’s people. Preaching professor Hershael York opens the epistle of 1 Peter to explore how the apostle anticipated future glory through present suffering. As Peter wrote to other church leaders, he recalled Jesus’ miraculous ministry, which he had witnessed and which he now drew upon to encourage his fellow elders in shepherding their churches.
