Bible Question:
Our pastor has asked our church leaders to research 2 topics: Biblical concepts of leaders Biblical concepts of character development of leaders I would like specific Bible references that address these topics. God's Blessings! Thank you. George |
Bible Answer: George ... bcbloyd has a great point - study the life of Christ. I was thinking about this today. Leadership is learned. So ... - where did they learn to be a leader? - how did they assume the role of a leader? - why did they make adjustments before and during their leadership years? - who did they lead and prepare to take their role? - what did the followers do after they no longer led? Look at other leaders - Joesph, Moses, Joshua ... Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah ... Peter, Paul, Timothy to name some. I challange you to study these nine and other leaders. I have read David Hocking's book, The Seven Laws of Christian Leadership (Regal Books). It is one source. Another is to use a search engine. I entered "Biblical leadership" and received many hits. Remember, always cite your sources. Steve |
