What should leadership look like in the Church? Peter points out an Old Testament pattern as well as a New Testament practice in helping Christians understand the role of servant leadership in the Church. Turning to the establishment of elders in Exodus 18 as the pattern, Alistair Begg teaches the responsibility of elders as described by Peter. As God carries out His rule through leadership, some are to be responsible for the leadership of others, but all are responsible to Jesus Christ and His Word.

First Peter is a handbook for Christian Living. All of the foundations necessary for building lives of spiritual maturity are contained in these chapters. Peter’s readers were geographically scattered and in the face of all kinds of challenges, they needed to be theologically grounded. Jesus had given Peter the task of feeding and strengthening the sheep. This compelling, practical, vital letter is surely part of the response to that directive. Peter is clear about his purpose: to stimulate their faith, to assure them of the reliability of God’s word, and to encourage them to stand fast in God’s grace.
Peter’s assurance to those who belong to Christ is still a great encouragement today. In volume one of this series, Alistair Begg reminds Christians of our heavenly citizenship and calls listeners to continue growing in faith and hope in Christ through trials.
