    Part IV of the Four-Part Vision: We look at how God led his people and how He used leaders to lift up a vision among his people. We examine the important questions: Who should lead? and What is important for leaders?

Instead, anyone who wants to be important among you must be your servant. And anyone who wants to be first must be ...read more

    In the world, greatness is determined by how many people serve you; but, in God’s kingdom, greatness is determined by how many people you serve.

    Jesus said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28). That was His personal mission statement. If I’m to be a follower of Christ, what marked His life should mark mine. My personal mission statement ought to be “serving ...read more
