When the Chief Shepherd Appears
Sunday, August 28th, 2011Sermon preached on 1 Peter 5:1-7 by Rev. W. Reid Hankins during the Morning Service at Trinity Presbyterian Church (OPC) on 8/28/2011 in Novato, CA.
I Alone Am Not Able to Bear You
Sunday, June 28th, 2009As a Presbyterian church we obviously have a Presbyterian form of church government, namely, rule by elders at various levels. Often we think about that being formed exclusively in the New Testament. However, passages like this remind us that even in the Old Testament, God’s people had elders of the people ruling and judging the people. As we look at this passage, we’ll see God’s ongoing concern for justice under both the old and new covenants, and how that concern comes to a climax in Jesus Christ.

Those Who Rule Over You
Sunday, February 8th, 2009At this morning service we had the joy to ordain and install a new ruling elder and receive a new member in our church. This passage deals with both eldership and membership, even while proclaiming a wonderful truth: Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Listen in to this sermon as we consider the Christians’ relationship to the leaders Christ gives his church, and to learn about the role of elders to live and preach Christ.
