Friday As you lead:

1. No one is above the Law. If rules are set, the leader is the first to follow.

2. Leadership by example is Jesus’ model; by exception is inferior and faulty.

3. As Jesus spoke of the Sanhedrin; “Do what they say but not as they do.”

Friday As you lead: You must Follow

1Cor. 4: 6-7; We are all equal before God as individuals but not equal in positions.

Remember: God is the Head of Christ, Christ is the Head of the Church, and in the Church, Christ has set all things in order.

State again the meaning of: Let all things be done decent and in order.

Friday As you lead: example vs. exception

1 Cor. 9: 24 -27; Keep the body in control, (anti-intoxication)

Bring it into subjection; “Practice, practice, practice.

Cast-a-way; Ministry disqualification

Friday As you lead: Default Leadership

Matt. 23:3; Keep the Word not the person. The person can be wrong but not the Word. No blind obedience.

Heb. 13: 7; Honor the Servant,

1 Cor. 11:1; keep the ordinance.

Heb. 13: 17; No Long Ranger Saint.
