“How to Be a Good Minister” (1 Peter 5:1-4)

Whenever we hear the term “minister” we immediately think of the pastor or the church we attend.  But, what if the term actually referred to anyone who oversaw someone else for the purpose of encouragement or spiritual growth.  It doesn’t depend upon size or organization, it depends upon influencing someone else regardless of their age for the purpose of becoming more like Jesus Christ.  Today’s message challenges each one who influences others as to their responsibility to be a good “minister” of Jesus Christ.
