Shepherding God's Flock, 1 Peter 5:1-5

The Apostle Peter exhorts the local church elders to shepherd the flock of God among them. We see from scripture that the church belongs to Christ, who bought us with His blood, He is the head of His church, and elders are under-shepherds, responsible to Christ for how they oversee, lead, teach, preach, serve and love the flock.
