  • May 10, 2025: “Shepherd the Flock of God”
    2025/05/10
    In the final section of his first epistle, the apostle Peter issued a series of challenging exhortations to the elders of the churches to which he wrote.

The only hope we have, he reminds us—in ministry and in life—is in the God of grace, who provides support so that we won’t topple, strength so that we won’t collapse, and a foundation so that we won’t be blown away.
