Welcome back to our 2 Peter series. As we begin chapter 2, Peter shares some crucial warnings about false teachers — but what does all this have to do with being a good shepherd leader?
It matters, dear under-shepherd, because it’s our responsibility to pay attention to what is taught to those we shepherd, how it’s taught, and the motives behind it. We not only want to ensure we don’t expose those we influence to false teachings, but we must take appropriate action when we see something amiss.
Thank you for joining us this week and let us know your thoughts on the video below.
DIGGING DEEPER QUESTIONS:
- In what ways do you experience the Divine power to live as Christ has called you to live?
- Peter admonishes followers of Jesus to be sober minded and watchful, or vigilant. What does this mean for you in your position as shepherd leader?
- Is there anyone that causes you concern as a possible false teacher in your midst? Are you ignoring signs? How will you determine if this is so and what will you do to take appropriate action?
