Summary
Drawing from 1 Peter 5:1-11, the sermon teaches that godly leadership requires humility, servant-heartedness, and accountability to Christ, while church members are called to submit to their leaders and resist Satan through faith, community, and biblical literacy.
Highlights
Humility isn't thinking poorly about yourself. It's thinking less of yourself. And when I say less, I don't mean in quality, I mean in quantity.
You're not trusting the men that are before you. You're trusting the God that's behind them.
Sin is an apex predator that wants to kill you. It may feel good in the moment, but it is leading to your ultimate destruction.
