My sermon notes didn’t hold together really well in the rain and I couldn’t get the iPad out to share specifically what I wanted to share during 3rd F. Notes were from City Church’s sermon on 2/11 (Pastor Spargo). The focus was on leadership. Lead at home. Lead at work. Lead in our community.

The Encouraging Word:

“Stop Following and Start Leading” Ephesians 4:17-20

2 Reasons We Need Godly Leaders:

  1. Everything rises and falls on leadership. (Provers 11:14)
  2. There is a shortage of servant leadership today. (Romans 6:13)

4 Things a Leader must know:

  1. You must know your identity. (Hebrews 11:24)
    • Success is being who God made you to be. (John 8:14)
  2. You must accept responsibility. (Proverbs 22:13; Hebrews 11:25)
    • Two Facts about Responsibility (Romans 14:12):
      • I can’t blame others for the direction of my life.
      • I can’t live off of other’s spiritual commitment to Christ.
  3. You must set priorities. (Job 34:4; Hebrews 11:26; 1 Corinthians 10:23)
  4. You must focus on eternity. (Colossians 3:1-2; Hebrews 11:27; Hebrews 12:2)
