Whether you’re in an official leadership position or not, as Christians we are leaders in some regard - whether as a mother, or a bible study leader, or discipling women, or teaching a class or sharing the Gospel, the Bible has great practical instructions for us in the area of godly leadership. Today we are looking at Acts 27 and contrast a centurion’s hurtful leadership with Paul’s helpful leadership and learn 3 ways we can graciously lead others.

Distinctly Christian Leadership

John Piper wrote a brief article about distinctly Christian leadership having our goals as leaders defined by Scriptures.

1. we are to take people and move them toward godliness, towards worship, towards honoring Jesus, towards loving people.

2. that those we lead would not exclude people based on a prejudice we have - God will have people from every tribe and language

3. our goal as a christian leader is not to make our name great famous, nor are we the authority; it is our goal in leading others to make His name great. There is a christian attitude of humility and service in distinctly christian leadership. Luke 22:25-26

Duties of a Christian Leader vary - some may include:

• Wash feet John 13:1-17
• rebuke Matthew 16:23
• discipling Matthew 18:15-20
• serve at our own expense 1 Cor 9:7
• issue strong imperatives 1 for 5:2, 11:16
