What creates a healthy church culture? How do you build a church marked by humility, grace, and relational beauty?

In this message from the Sacred Task Conference at Phoenix Seminary, Ray Ortlund teaches through 1 Peter 5 and shows why the church must be shaped by one powerful reality:

Gospel doctrine creates gospel culture.

Many churches preach the right message—but their relational culture quietly contradicts it. Peter calls the church to align what we believe with what we embody, starting here:

“Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (1 Peter 5:5)

This teaching covers:

Church leadership and what biblical elders are called to be (1 Peter 5:1–4)

How humility produces peace, safety, and unity in the church (1 Peter 5:5–7)

Why the real enemy isn’t people, but the devil—and how Christians resist together (1 Peter 5:8–9)

The promise that after suffering, God will restore and strengthen His people (1 Peter 5:10–11)

If you’re a pastor, elder, ministry leader, or church member who wants to see a church where the gospel feels real—not just sounds right—this message will challenge and encourage you.
