Shepherding the Flock of God

We're going to think about it under four headings. We'll think first about the elder's office. In our contemporary scene, not every church has elders. You may even never have been in a church that has elders before, so is this just a quirk of Presbyterian churches like ours or is it a Biblical office? So we'll think briefly about the office of the elder. Then, we'll think about the elder's work. What is it that they are supposed to be doing? If this is a Biblical office, what is the task entrusted to our elders? Then thirdly, the elder's reward. You'll see that in verse 4. Peter offers some encouragement and some motivation to pursue the work in the way that he challenges us to do. And then finally in verse 5, the elder's reception. How should we receive the ministry of our elders? The elder's office, work, reward, and reception.
