This sermon, delivered during the installation of four new elders at Parkside Church Westside, reflects on 1 Peter 5:1–3 as a foundational charge for church leadership. The message calls elders to shepherd God's flock willingly, not out of obligation; eagerly, not for personal gain; and by example, not through domineering control. Emphasizing the plurality of elders as a biblical and practical safeguard, the sermon highlights the high calling and relational nature of spiritual leadership. At its heart, the message reminds the congregation that elders are not perfect but are to model the humility, love, and servant-heartedness of Jesus—the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep. Ultimately, it points all believers to Christ as the only flawless Shepherd who leads with faithfulness, strength, and kindness.
