Shepherding the Flock

28^th November 2021 Rev. Richard Morrison

Rev. Richard Morrison shares an encouraging sermon during the ordination and installation of new elders Michael Arnold, Joseph Millar, Geoffrey Young and Hugh Young.

1 Peter 5:1–4

Shepherd the Flock of God

5:1 So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,¹ not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;² not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
