Rest in the Shepherd; Resist the Lion | 1 Peter 5:5-11

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 1 Peter 5:5-11.

At the end of the letter, Peter encourages the Christians by reminding them once again that they are not alone in their suffering. Though they may feel intimidated by the roaring lion—the enemy—they can find peace in knowing they are in the capable hands of the Chief Shepherd.

Big Idea: Stay humble and firm in faith to resist the lion and rest in the Shepherd.

1. Your God is Mighty—Humble Yourself Before Him (5-7)
2. Your Adversary is Intimidating—Resist Him with Firm Faith in Christ (8-9)
3. Your God is Gracious—He will Perfect You (10-11)
