1 Peter 5:5-7 Being a Good Follower

If you want to be a great leader, you must first become a great follower.

1Peter 5:5-7 5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

What is the context for this instruction?

submission relationships

submission Government 2:13-17 Employment 2:18-25 Family 3:1-7 Church 3:8-12

Big Picture CAUSE COMMUNITY CORPORATION Leaders Followers

BIG IDEA 1 Peter 5:5-7 Good followers voluntarily acknowledge and accept every authority God has placed in their lives… including the leadership of their church family.

What does it mean? 1Peter 5:5-7 5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. Submission means to recognize and voluntarily accept the leadership of the elders, equipping staff, and small group leaders in my church. Submission does not diminish my personhood or negate the value of healthy conflict resolution.

I am in harmony with my leaders I do NOT share my concerns with my leaders I share my concerns with my leaders My leaders listen and change their decision to fit my input I express my anger to other people and create disunity I repress my anger and become depressed My leaders and I have differences

I share my concerns with my leaders My leaders listen and change their decision to fit my input I am in harmony with my leaders My leaders do NOT change their decision to fit my input I am angry and look for another church I “go underground” to build alliances to force the issue I am disappointed but continue to support the unity of my church

How do you get there from here?
