Friday As you lead:
1. No one is above the Law. If rules are set, the leader is the first to follow.
2. Leadership by example is Jesus’ model; by exception is inferior and faulty.
3. As Jesus spoke of the Sanhedrin; “Do what they say but not as they do.”
Friday As you lead: You must Follow
1Cor. 4: 6-7; We are all equal before God as individuals but not equal in positions.
Remember: God is the Head of Christ, Christ is the Head of the Church, and in the Church, Christ has set all things in order.
State again the meaning of: Let all things be done decent and in order.
Friday As you lead: example vs. exception
1 Cor. 9: 24 -27; Keep the body in control, (anti-intoxication)
Bring it into subjection; “Practice, practice, practice.
Cast-a-way; Ministry disqualification
Friday As you lead: Default Leadership
Matt. 23:3; Keep the Word not the person. The person can be wrong but not the Word. No blind obedience.
