About this episode

Pastor Andrew Coleman discusses the importance of humility and trust in God as outlined in 1 Peter 5:6-7.

In 1 Peter 5:6–7, Peter brings his letter toward a powerful conclusion by calling believers to a life marked by humility and trust in God. Writing to Christians facing real pressure and suffering, he reminds them that humility is the starting point of the Christian life. To humble yourself under God’s mighty hand is to surrender to Him fully and rest in His authority. This humility is not weakness but strength shaped by the example of Jesus, who humbled Himself in both service and suffering.Peter also shows that humility changes how we handle both our future and our burdens. Instead of striving to lift ourselves up, we trust God’s timing, believing He will exalt us at the right moment. Instead of carrying anxiety alone, we cast it on Him completely. This is not denial of life’s pressures but a deliberate act of faith. The reason we can do this is simple and deeply personal: God cares for us. True peace grows when we trust His care, knowing the One who calls us to lay down our burdens is the same Savior who carried our sins and walks with us in every struggle.________________________________________Links to Sermon Notes & Answers:➤Sermon Notes (Blank)…
