Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.Leadership is not about authority or titles; leadership is about influence.
- 2.Because everyone carries influence in some relationship or setting, everyone is a leader.
- 3.Jesus led counterculturally by walking ahead of His followers and physically living among them.
- 4.Showing up consistently builds trust, trust creates influence, and influence provides the opportunity to point others to Jesus.
- 5.Jesus led by providing for people's spiritual, emotional, and practical needs rather than just material ones.
- 6.A worldly leader exploits people to build themselves up, but a good shepherd empowers others.
- 7.Spiritual protection requires praying intentionally for loved ones and standing up for truth before issues arise.
- 8.To effectively lead and protect others, believers must first protect their own heart, mind, and spiritual health.
Sermon Moments
“Leadership is not about authority. It's about influence.”
“The video illustration of the sheep getting rescued from a narrow trench, only to immediately jump right back into the hole.”
“The world says, 'You work for me, go do.' But Jesus says, 'I've already done the work. Come and follow.'”
“People don't remember what you say, but people always remember how you made them feel.”
“The worldly shepherd exploits, but the good shepherd empowers.”
“If you don't lead yourself, you can't lead others. Be the example, not the exception.”
