     | 4,885 views

    Those who assume positions of influence and leadership must be willing to pay the price to hold such positions. In this lesson we'll explore the price Peter paid in Antioch when he played the hypocrite and was rebuked by Paul.

    There are people in this world who possess the natural ability to lead and command the respect of others. Whether you call it charm, charisma, magnetism, or whatever, such people wield a powerful influence on those who look up to them as the embodiment of all they would like to become ...read more

    I can't help but notice certain patterns in the people and groups around me. Of course people are more complex than stereotypes, but there are certain observable patterns that do emerge, and tend to be at least somewhat accurate in describing people groups.

    Hold Him Up

    Like Moses, your pastor cannot and is not expected by God to do the work by himself. Like Moses pastors need others who will hold his arms high that they may be steadied and that he may be able to lead as God would have him do.

    Hold Him Up Exodus 17:8-13 Under the leadership of Moses, God delivered Israel from Egypt and was led into the wilderness in route to the Promised Land. In their journeying, Israel came to Rephidim. There at Rephidim, the Amalekites, nomadic descendants of Esau, began to conduct assaults against ...read more

    Spiritual Leadership In The Home Series

    Contributed by Vince Miller on Dec 30, 2018
     | 5,537 views

    Spiritual leadership in the home is one of our primary environments of leadership and by far the most challenging. It's often a hard topic for men to even talk about.

    "There is no such thing as a self-made spiritual leader. A true leader influences others spiritually only because the Spirit works in and through him to a greater degree than in those he leads." J. Oswald Sanders "Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, ...read more

    Transfer Of Grace

    Most parents want to transfer their good character traits to their children, while not transferring vices, weaknesses, and failures to them. We need to put ourselves in a position where God’s grace is being transferred to us so we have something to give.

    Transfer of Grace Titus 2:11-14 11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope-- the ...read more

    Many people love harshness in a leader, but Jesus was loving and forgiving. People desire to be leaders but few qualify, only those who rule as Jesus deserve authority.

    The Leadership Style of Jesus: Is It Your Style? By Kelly Durant 9-6-15 Matthew 11: 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of ...read more

    God placed it upon Paul's heart that the church in Crete needed to grow up to maturity. Titus had demonstrated that he was ready for the responsibility of organizing the churches in Crete; he would lead the people to avoid the Cretan worldview and the legalism of the Jews.

    “Come, follow me.” The words resound with authority that could emanate only from the heart of God. My heart is tenderly touched each time I view a video clip that depicts the early disciple walking away from their known life to live according to a calling God places upon their lives. As the ...read more

    If a ruler does not hold God and God’s Law in the highest respect, he will ultimately fail.

    Saturday of 17th Week in Course Men and women without faith in the twenty-first century are a lot like the Israelites who were hearing and yet not listening to Jeremiah five centuries before Jesus.

     | 1,126 views

    This is a message for anyone who feels like their failure has disqualified them from God’s plans. Through Peter’s story, we see that failure is not the end; it’s an opportunity for God to show His grace and call us into greater purpose.

    Expository Sermon: Restored to Lead Key Text: John 21:17 – “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ And he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.’ Jesus said to him, ...read more

    Spiritual leadership in the church is necessary. Without spiritual leaders you will have leadership, but as immature or nonspiritual, they will draw people after themselves. This sermon is about the desire to serve as a spiritual leader.

    Trustworthy Saying #3 (1 Tim. 3:1-7) Intro: A. Today we are going to study another of Paul’s “trustworthy sayings” taken from 1 Tim. 3:1. The Bible tells us read about the role of the minister or evangelist, and the character of spiritual leaders we often call “elders” or “shepherds.” We also ...read more
