  Peter
• 1:03
  5:1:5

  from

  the

  message

  he'll

  you

  at

  the

  right

  time

  I

  have

  a

  special
• 1:11
  concern
• 1:11
  for
• 1:11
  you
• 1:12
  church
• 1:12
  leaders.
• 1:13
  I
• 1:13
  know
• 1:13
  what
• 1:13
  it's
• 1:14
  like
• 1:14
  to
• 1:14
  be
• 1:14
  a
• 1:14
  leader
• 1:15
  in
• 1:15
  on
• 1:16
  Christ's
• 1:16
  sufferings
• 1:17
  as
• 1:18
  well
• 1:18
  as
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  coming
• 1:18
  glory.
• 1:19
  Here's
• 1:20
  my
• 1:21
  that
• 1:21
  you
• 1:22
  care
• 1:22
  for
• 1:22
  God's
• 1:23
  flock
• 1:23
  with
• 1:23
  all
• 1:23
  the
• 1:24
  diligence
• 1:24
  of
• 1:24
  a
• 1:24
  shepherd,
• 1:26
  not
• 1:26
  because
• 1:26
  you
• 1:27
  have
• 1:27
  to,
• 1:27
  but
• 1:28
  because
• 1:28
  you
• 1:28
  want
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  please
• 1:29
  God.
• 1:30
  Not
• 1:31
  calculating
• 1:31
  what
• 1:31
  you
• 1:32
  can
• 1:32
  get
• 1:32
  out
• 1:32
  of
• 1:32
  it,
• 1:33
  but
• 1:33
  acting
• 1:34
  spontaneously.
• 1:36
  Not
• 1:37
  bossily
• 1:37
  telling
• 1:38
  others
• 1:38
  what
• 1:38
  to
• 1:39
  do,
• 1:39
  but
• 1:40
  tenderly
• 1:41
  showing
• 1:41
  them
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  way.
• 1:43
  When
• 1:44
  God,
• 1:44
  who
• 1:44
  is
• 1:44
  the
• 1:45
  best
• 1:45
  shepherd
• 1:46
  of
• 1:46
  all,
• 1:47
  comes
• 1:47
  out
• 1:47
  in
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  open
• 1:48
  with
• 1:48
  his
• 1:48
  rule,
• 1:49
  he'll
• 1:50
  see
• 1:50
  that
• 1:50
  you've
• 1:50
  done
• 1:51
  it
• 1:51
  right
• 1:51
  and
• 1:51
  commend
• 1:52
  you
• 1:52
  lavishly.
• 1:54
  And
• 1:54
  you
• 1:54
  who
• 1:55
  are
• 1:55
  younger
• 1:55
  must
• 1:55
  follow
• 1:56
  your
• 1:56
  leaders.
• 1:57
  But
• 1:57
  all
• 1:58
  of
• 1:58
  you,
• 1:58
  leaders
• 1:58
  and
• 1:58
  followers
• 1:59
  alike,
• 2:00
  are
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  be
• 2:01
  down
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  earth
• 2:01
  with
• 2:01
  each
• 2:02
  other.
• 2:02
  For
• 2:03
  God
• 2:04
  has
• 2:04
  had
• 2:05
  it
• 2:06
  with
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  proud,
• 2:08
  but
• 2:08
  takes
• 2:08
  delight
• 2:09
  in
• 2:10
  just
• 2:10
  plain
• 2:11
  people.
• 2:14
  Great
• 2:14
  reading.
• 2:14
  Love
• 2:15
  that
• 2:15
  last
• 2:15
  line
• 2:15
  especially.
• 2:17
  So
• 2:18
  let's
• 2:18
  talk
• 2:19
  about
• 2:19
  this
• 2:19
  passage
• 2:20
  here.
• 2:20
  We're
• 2:20
  just
• 2:20
  reading
• 2:21
  about
• 2:21
  leadership
• 2:21
  without
• 2:22
  without
• 2:23
  ego.
• 2:24
  And
• 2:24
  so
• 2:25
  let's
• 2:25
  just
• 2:25
  get
• 2:25
  into
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  couple
• 2:26
  of
• 2:27
  points
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  to
• 2:28
  ponder
• 2:28
  about
• 2:28
  this
• 2:29
  point
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  ponder.
• 2:30
  Number
• 2:30
  one
• 2:33
  Fellow
• 2:34
  elder.
• 2:34
  It
• 2:35
  says
• 2:36
  the
• 2:37
  posture
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  changes
• 2:38
  everything.
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  don't
• 2:40
  want
• 2:40
  you
• 2:41
  to
• 2:41
  miss
• 2:41
  how
• 2:42
  Peter
• 2:42
  starts
• 2:43
  this
• 2:43
  passage
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  Scripture.
• 2:44
  He
• 2:45
  doesn't
• 2:45
  say
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  elders,
• 2:49
  I
• 2:50
  appeal
• 2:50
  as
• 2:50
  an
• 2:50
  apostle.
• 2:53
  An
• 2:53
  apostle
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  one
• 2:54
  another
• 2:54
  follows
• 2:55
  Christ
• 2:55
  but
• 2:56
  wants
• 2:56
  to
• 2:57
  extend
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  mission
• 2:58
  of
• 2:58
  Christ.
• 2:59
  So
• 2:59
  he's
• 3:00
  not
• 3:00
  trying
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  pull
• 3:00
  rank
• 3:01
  here.
• 3:01
  I'm
• 3:02
  an
• 3:02
  apostle
• 3:02
  and
• 3:03
  you're
• 3:03
  not.
• 3:04
  He
• 3:04
  says,
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  appeal
• 3:05
  to
• 3:06
  you
• 3:06
  as
• 3:06
  a
• 3:06
  fellow
• 3:07
  elder.
• 3:08
  Fellow
• 3:09
  that
• 3:09
  is
• 3:09
  alongside.
• 3:10
  I'm
• 3:10
  one
• 3:10
  of
• 3:10
  you.
• 3:10
  We're
• 3:11
  in
• 3:11
  this
• 3:11
  together.
• 3:12
  And
• 3:12
  this
• 3:12
  is
• 3:13
  kind
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  A
• 3:13
  big
• 3:13
  deal.
• 3:14
  Peter
• 3:15
  could
• 3:15
  have
• 3:15
  flexed
• 3:15
  his
• 3:16
  credentials,
• 3:16
  as
• 3:16
  it
• 3:17
  were,
• 3:17
  because,
• 3:18
  you
• 3:18
  know,
• 3:18
  he's
• 3:19
  literally
• 3:19
  one
• 3:19
  of
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  12,
• 3:19
  one
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  12
• 3:21
  apostles
• 3:22
  of
• 3:22
  Jesus.
• 3:23
  He
• 3:23
  walked
• 3:23
  with
• 3:24
  Jesus.
• 3:24
  He
• 3:24
  had
• 3:24
  every
• 3:25
  reason
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  lead
• 3:26
  from
• 3:26
  a
• 3:26
  position
• 3:27
  to,
• 3:28
  hey,
• 3:28
  listen
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  me,
• 3:28
  because
• 3:29
  I
• 3:29
  was
• 3:29
  there.
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  am
• 3:31
  who
• 3:31
  I
• 3:31
  am.
• 3:32
  Instead,
• 3:32
  he
• 3:32
  leads
• 3:33
  from
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  position
• 3:33
  of
• 3:33
  listening
• 3:34
  because
• 3:34
  I'm
• 3:35
  walking
• 3:35
  beside
• 3:36
  you.
• 3:37
  And
• 3:37
  a
• 3:38
  progressive
• 3:38
  reading
• 3:38
  of
• 3:39
  this
• 3:39
  text
• 3:39
  takes
• 3:39
  that
• 3:40
  seriously
• 3:40
  because
• 3:41
  so
• 3:41
  much
• 3:42
  of
• 3:42
  institutions
• 3:43
  overall
• 3:43
  and
• 3:44
  institutional
• 3:45
  religion
• 3:45
  is
• 3:46
  built
• 3:46
  on
• 3:46
  a
• 3:46
  hierarchy.
• 3:48
  Clergy
• 3:48
  above
• 3:49
  laity,
• 3:49
  pastors
• 3:50
  among
• 3:50
  people,
• 3:51
  us
• 3:51
  up
• 3:51
  here,
• 3:52
  you
• 3:52
  down
• 3:52
  there.
• 3:54
  And
• 3:54
  Peter,
• 3:55
  one
• 3:55
  of
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  original
• 3:55
  pillars
• 3:56
  of
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  church,
• 3:56
  refuses
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  play
• 3:57
  that
• 3:57
  game.
• 3:59
  He
• 3:59
  says,
• 4:00
  where
• 4:01
  we,
• 4:01
  we
• 4:02
  are
• 4:02
  shepherds,
• 4:04
  but
• 4:04
  we're
• 4:04
  also
• 4:04
  a
• 4:05
  part
• 4:05
  of
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  flock.
• 4:05
  We're
• 4:05
  also
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  sheep.
• 4:07
  We're
• 4:08
  fellow
• 4:08
  travelers,
• 4:09
  fellow
• 4:10
  strugglers,
• 4:12
  fellow
• 4:12
  sheep.
• 4:15
  And
• 4:15
  that
• 4:15
  is
• 4:15
  a
• 4:15
  theology
• 4:16
  of
• 4:16
  leadership
• 4:17
  that
• 4:17
  changes
• 4:17
  everything.
• 4:18
  It
• 4:18
  means
• 4:18
  that
• 4:18
  the
• 4:19
  person
• 4:19
  preaching
• 4:20
  isn't
• 4:21
  above
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  person
• 4:22
  listening.
• 4:24
  It
• 4:24
  means
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  wisest
• 4:25
  voice
• 4:25
  in
• 4:25
  your
• 4:25
  life
• 4:26
  is
• 4:27
  probably
• 4:27
  someone
• 4:27
  who's
• 4:28
  walking
• 4:28
  with
• 4:28
  you,
• 4:29
  not
• 4:29
  standing
• 4:30
  over
• 4:30
  you.
• 4:31
  And
• 4:31
  if
• 4:31
  you're
• 4:32
  in
• 4:32
  any
• 4:32
  kind
• 4:32
  of
• 4:32
  position
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  leadership,
• 4:33
  I'm

  a

  instance.

  Pastor,

• 4:38
  coach,
• 4:38
  teacher,
• 4:39
  boss,
• 4:41
  political

  That's

  the

  first

  not

  lording
• 5:03
  it
• 5:03
  over,
• 5:05
  that's
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  kind
• 5:05
  of
• 5:05
  power
• 5:06
  that
• 5:06
  Jesus
• 5:06
  rejected.
• 5:07
  Verse
• 5:08
  3
• 5:08
  is
• 5:08
  where
• 5:09
  Peter
• 5:09
  gets
• 5:09
  very
• 5:09
  direct
• 5:10
  about
• 5:10
  this.
• 5:10
  Not
• 5:11
  lording
• 5:11
  it

  over
• 5:12
  those
• 5:12
  entrusted
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  you,
• 5:13
  but
• 5:14
  being
• 5:14
  example
• 5:14
  to
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  flock.
• 5:16
  That
• 5:17
  phrase
• 5:18
  lording
• 5:19
  it
• 5:19
  over,
• 5:22
  it's
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  kind
• 5:23
  of
• 5:23
  language
• 5:23
  that
• 5:24
  Jesus
• 5:24
  uses
• 5:25
  really
• 5:26
  fairly
• 5:26
  often
• 5:27
  in
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  Gospels
• 5:29
  when
• 5:29
  he
• 5:29
  said
• 5:29
  to
• 5:29
  the
• 5:30
  gentile
• 5:30
  rulers,
• 5:30
  lord
• 5:31
  it
• 5:31
  over
• 5:31
  people,
• 5:31
  but
• 5:32
  not
• 5:32
  so
• 5:32
  with
• 5:32
  you.
• 5:34
  In
• 5:34
  other
• 5:35
  words,
• 5:35
  the
• 5:36
  way
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  world
• 5:37
  does
• 5:37
  power
• 5:37
  is
• 5:37
  not
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  way
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  kingdom
• 5:38
  of
• 5:39
  God
• 5:39
  does
• 5:39
  power.
• 5:40
  The
• 5:40
  world
• 5:41
  says
• 5:41
  leadership
• 5:42
  is
• 5:42
  about
• 5:42
  control,
• 5:44
  visibility,
• 5:46
  dominance,
• 5:48
  power.
• 5:52
  Jesus
• 5:52
  says
• 5:53
  leadership
• 5:54
  is
• 5:54
  about
• 5:54
  service,
• 5:55
  presence
• 5:57
  and
• 5:58
  love.
• 6:00
  Now,
• 6:00
  this
• 6:00
  can
• 6:00
  get
• 6:00
  a
• 6:01
  little
• 6:01
  bit
• 6:01
  uncomfortable
• 6:02
  because
• 6:02
  we
• 6:02
  have
• 6:03
  so
• 6:03
  normalized,
• 6:04
  unhealthy
• 6:06
  power
• 6:07
  relationships.
• 6:08
  Hey,
• 6:08
  we
• 6:09
  do
• 6:09
  that
• 6:09
  in
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  church,
• 6:09
  we
• 6:10
  do
• 6:10
  that
• 6:11
  in
• 6:11
  our
• 6:11
  workplaces.
• 6:12
  We
• 6:12
  do
• 6:12
  it
• 6:12
  in
• 6:13
  government,
• 6:13
  politics,
• 6:15
  all
• 6:15
  kinds
• 6:15
  of
• 6:15
  places.
• 6:18
  Loud
• 6:18
  voices
• 6:19
  often
• 6:19
  dominate
• 6:20
  quiet
• 6:20
  ones.
• 6:22
  Credentials,
• 6:24
  silence,
• 6:25
  experience,
• 6:27
  because
• 6:27
  I
• 6:28
  said
• 6:28
  so
• 6:31
  becomes
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  phrase
• 6:32
  instead
• 6:32
  of,
• 6:32
  hey,
• 6:33
  let
• 6:34
  me
• 6:34
  listen
• 6:34
  to
• 6:35
  you.
• 6:36
  And
• 6:36
  Peter
• 6:37
  says
• 6:37
  this,
• 6:37
  that's
• 6:38
  just
• 6:38
  not
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  way
• 6:38
  Jesus
• 6:39
  did
• 6:39
  it.
• 6:40
  That's
• 6:40
  not
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  Jesus.
• 6:41
  The
• 6:41
  Jesus
• 6:41
  way
• 6:41
  is
• 6:42
  modeling,
• 6:44
  be
• 6:44
  an
• 6:45
  example,
• 6:46
  not
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  boss.
• 6:50
  And
• 6:50
  my
• 6:50
  cancer
• 6:51
  related
• 6:51
  podcasts,
• 6:52
  people
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  admire
• 6:53
  aren't
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  ones
• 6:54
  who
• 6:54
  always
• 6:55
  have,
• 6:55
  you
• 6:55
  know,
• 6:55
  kind
• 6:56
  of
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  fancy
• 6:56
  platforms,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  know,
• 6:57
  doctors
• 6:57
  or
• 6:57
  leaders,
• 6:58
  this
• 6:58
  kind
• 6:59
  of
• 6:59
  thing
• 6:59
  on
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  fancy
• 6:59
  side.
• 7:00
  They're
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  ones
• 7:00
  who
• 7:00
  kind
• 7:00
  of
• 7:01
  caretakers
• 7:02
  show
• 7:03
  from
• 7:03
  week
• 7:03
  to
• 7:03
  week,
• 7:04
  walk
• 7:05
  along
• 7:05
  somebody
• 7:06
  who's
• 7:06
  a
• 7:06
  little
• 7:06
  scared
• 7:07
  and
• 7:08
  who's
• 7:08
  going
• 7:09
  through
• 7:09
  some
• 7:09
  tough
• 7:09
  times.
• 7:11
  Not
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  people
• 7:11
  in
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  spotlight,
• 7:12
  no
• 7:12
  applause,
• 7:13
  just
• 7:14
  presence.
• 7:16
  And
• 7:17
  that's
• 7:17
  real
• 7:17
  leadership.
• 7:19
  That's
• 7:19
  a
• 7:19
  crown
• 7:19
  that
• 7:20
  doesn't
• 7:20
  fade.
• 7:22
  Then
• 7:22
  Peter
• 7:22
  adds
• 7:23
  this
• 7:23
  really
• 7:23
  kind
• 7:23
  of
• 7:24
  beautiful
• 7:24
  line
• 7:24
  in
• 7:24
  verse
• 7:25
  5.
• 7:25
  Clothe
• 7:26
  yourself
• 7:26
  with
• 7:27
  humility
• 7:27
  toward
• 7:28
  one
• 7:28
  another.
• 7:29
  Love
• 7:30
  that.
• 7:31
  Not
• 7:31
  just
• 7:31
  toward
• 7:31
  God,
• 7:32
  towards
• 7:32
  each
• 7:32
  other.
• 7:34
  Because
• 7:34
  humility
• 7:35
  isn't
• 7:35
  a
• 7:36
  vertical
• 7:36
  virtue,
• 7:37
  it's
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  horizontal
• 7:38
  one.
• 7:39
  It's
• 7:40
  how
• 7:40
  we
• 7:40
  treat
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  person
• 7:41
  across
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  table,
• 7:42
  across
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  aisle,
• 7:43
  across
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  fence,
• 7:45
  across
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  border.
• 7:49
  Hmm.
• 7:51
  Points
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  ponder.
• 7:52
  Here's
• 7:53
  your
• 7:53
  action
• 7:53
  step.
• 7:55
  One
• 7:55
  thing
• 7:55
  for
• 7:55
  you
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  do
• 7:56
  today.
• 7:56
  Find
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  way
• 7:57
  to
• 7:57
  lead
• 7:57
  by
• 7:57
  serving.
• 7:58
  And
• 7:58
  don't
• 7:58
  tell
• 7:58
  anybody
• 7:59
  about
• 7:59
  it.
• 8:00
  Maybe
• 8:00
  it's
• 8:00
  by
• 8:00
  picking
• 8:01
  up
• 8:01
  a
• 8:01
  task
• 8:01
  at
• 8:01
  work
• 8:01
  that
• 8:02
  nobody
• 8:02
  else
• 8:02
  really
• 8:02
  wants
• 8:03
  to
• 8:03
  do.
• 8:03
  You
• 8:04
  know
• 8:04
  what
• 8:04
  I'm
• 8:04
  talking
• 8:04
  about.
• 8:04
  Sometimes
• 8:05
  those
• 8:05
  things
• 8:05
  has
• 8:05
  got
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  be
• 8:05
  done.
• 8:06
  Just
• 8:07
  do
• 8:07
  it.
• 8:08
  Maybe
• 8:08
  it's
• 8:09
  doing
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  chore
• 8:09
  at
• 8:09
  home
• 8:09
  without
• 8:10
  having
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  be
• 8:10
  asked.
• 8:11
  I
• 8:11
  need
• 8:11
  to
• 8:12
  learn
• 8:12
  that
• 8:12
  lesson,
• 8:12
  according
• 8:12
  to
• 8:13
  my
• 8:13
  wife.
• 8:15
  Maybe
• 8:15
  it's
• 8:15
  mentoring
• 8:16
  somebody
• 8:16
  quietly
• 8:17
  without
• 8:17
  any
• 8:17
  accolades.
• 8:18
  Maybe
• 8:19
  simply
• 8:19
  answer
• 8:19
  the
• 8:20
  question
• 8:20
  from
• 8:20
  your
• 8:20
  child.
• 8:22
  Maybe
• 8:23
  it's
• 8:23
  offering
• 8:23
  some
• 8:23
  encouragement
• 8:24
  to
• 8:24
  someone
• 8:24
  who
• 8:25
  just
• 8:25
  needs
• 8:26
  a
• 8:26
  good
• 8:26
  word,
• 8:27
  a
• 8:27
  word
• 8:27
  of
• 8:28
  encouragement.
• 8:30
  Make
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  space
• 8:30
  for
• 8:31
  their
• 8:31
  voice
• 8:32
  instead
• 8:32
  of
• 8:32
  your
• 8:32
  own.
• 8:34
  No
• 8:34
  announcements,
• 8:34
  no
• 8:34
  credit,
• 8:35
  just
• 8:36
  humble
• 8:37
  service
• 8:37
  humelity.
• 8:40
  That's
• 8:40
  the
• 8:41
  kind
• 8:41
  of
• 8:41
  leadership
• 8:41
  Peter
• 8:42
  is
• 8:42
  describing.
• 8:44
  And
• 8:45
  honestly,
• 8:46
  in
• 8:46
  the
• 8:46
  world
• 8:46
  we
• 8:46
  live
• 8:46
  in,
• 8:48
  we're
• 8:48
  kind
• 8:48
  of
• 8:48
  desperate
• 8:49
  for
• 8:49
  that
• 8:49
  kind
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  leadership
• 8:49
  right
• 8:50
  now,
• 8:50
  aren't
• 8:50
  we?
• 8:52
  We're
• 8:53
  going
• 8:53
  to
