Inferiors & Superiors (1 Peter 5:5)

We are back inside our old home, New Traditions Elementary School! You can find more information about our Sunday gatherings on this page.

Summary

Today's passage includes both a threat and a promise: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." In a culture and city devoted to equality, the church should stand out in its devotion to humility. Listen as Dave unpacks this single verse, particularly in reference to age. What do younger people owe those who are older?

Text

1 Peter 5:5

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (ESV)
