Bible Question: I am a leader or in the role of a leader. What books in the bible reference the roles of a leader or his or her leadership style? I believe Jesus wa sthe ultimate leader and should be emulated. I would be very appreciative of this as I start my journey through the bible. |
Bible Answer: Dear houstonc, I would like to suggest the below scriptures for you. 1 Timothy Chapter 3. In fact, Paul talked a lot concerning leadership in his letter to Timothy. You may be interested to read both 1 and 2 Timothy. Jesus also made a note for those who wanted to be the greatest (leader) in Matthew Chapter 23, verse 11 to 12. Hope the above helpful to you.
