Four Aspects Of Biblical Pastoral Leadership

Pastor Kim preaches from 1 Peter 5 on the duties and character of church elders, urging them to lead with humility, pure motives, and as Christ-like examples, especially during times of intense suffering. Pastor Kim uses the Apostle Peter's personal growth—moving from pride in position to prioritizing suffering before glory—as a model for maturity. The message details three aspects of godly leadership: good shepherding (feeding the flock), wise authority (serving willingly out of love), and acting out of a pure motive (avoiding "filthy lucre" or personal gain). The sermon concludes with the eternal promise of the Chief Shepherd's "crown of glory" for the faithful, and an evangelistic call to unbelievers to stop the "blame cycle" by accepting Christ, who took all the world's guilt.

金牧师（Pastor Kim）以彼得前书第五章为基础，讲论教会长老的职责和品格。他敦促长老们在带领教会时，尤其是在遭受强烈苦难的时期，要以谦卑、纯洁的动机和效法基督的榜样来行事。金牧师以使徒彼得的个人成长——从对职位的骄傲转向将苦难置于荣耀之先——作为成熟的典范。

该信息详细阐述了敬虔领袖的三个方面：美好的牧养（喂养羊群）、明智的权柄（出于爱心甘愿服侍），以及以纯洁的动机行事（避免“不义之财”或个人私利）。讲道最后以大牧者（Chief Shepherd）给忠心者的“荣耀冠冕”的永恒应许作结，并向非信徒发出福音的呼召，鼓励他们藉着接受基督来停止“互相指责的循环”，因为基督担当了世人所有的罪孽
