“Shepherd the Flock”

This Sunday will allow us the opportunity to hear from three of our FFC Elders.  Lecil, Allen and Matt are looking forward to sharing what God has put on their hearts for us as a church.  Each will take about 10 minutes to share a word that will bless, encourage, exhort, and instruct those who call Faith Family their church home.  I hope you can be with us as our time together promises to be special. As we look toward Sunday, I’m reminded of 1 Peter 5:1-4. So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.  We are truly blessed as a church to have the Elders we do.  They are men of integrity, men of prayer, and men of grace!  I hope you’ll pray for each of them as they prepare to share this coming Sunday. With expectation, pastor jamie
