Insights into Servant Leadership from Isaiah

Gary DeLashmutt

Isaiah's predictive descriptions of God's Servant were fulfilled by Jesus during His first coming. But, since all Christians are called to be God's servants, these passages also contain valuable insights into how we should live. This material is personally challenging, fortifying, and useful for studying in small groups.

Characteristics of a Leader

Conrad Hilario

1 Timothy 3:2-13

When Paul gives Timothy a list of characteristics of a leader, he does not base it on gifting or natural talent, but on character qualities anyone can attain if they are willing. This list is not meant to discourage you but to give you a vision. God can change you if you are willing, though it might take some time. God just might call you to play a significant role. Are you willing?

Raising Up Qualified Leaders

Conrad Hilario

1 Timothy 3:1-2

Raising up qualified leaders is less about gifting and more about character. Rather than church leaders appointing people to leadership, new leaders should be recognized for already having mature spiritual character and doing the work of a leader. God raises up leaders, the church just recognizes them. If leadership is about influencing people, then you are leading people whether you realize it or not.

Six Ways to Lead a Tough Church

James Rochford

1 Timothy 4:1-16

Paul gives Timothy six ways to lead a tough church undergoing attack by false teachers who promote doctrines of demons. Timothy is directed: to stay well-fed by the Word, to work hard, to become what he wants to see, to lead with his Bible, to exploit the spiritual gift in him, and to trust that God will use him. God is not a harsh task-master. He will work on one area needing improvement at a time. What is one area you need to grow in?

Organic Leadership in Action

Organic leadership in the church is optional in the sense once saved, one is not required to grow or you lose your salvation but it is for your own good and for the good of others.

It is authentic and dynamic.

Assessing Good Spiritual Leadership

Ryan Lowery

Matthew 23:1-25

In the final week of Jesus' life, we see him rebuke religious leaders of the day through his actions and his teachings. In this passage Jesus teaches that good leaders teach the Bible, live what they teach, live modestly, and give God the glory. Instead of pointing people toward trying to keep a set of rules, good leaders help people depend on God to change from the inside out.

Essentials to Christian Leadership

James Rochford

1 Timothy 3:1-13

After affirming that aspiring to the office overseer in the church is a fine work, Paul proceeds to list the characteristics required of one seeking to lead. He distinguishes between elder and deacon positions, with eldership having higher requirements. The requirements relate more to good character than skillfulness or talent. The church is always in need of men and women of good character and beyond reproach to step up to lead. Those that do "obtain for themselves a high standing and great confidence..." Would you not want this for your life?
