Biblical Leadership

Many times, leadership has been completely contrary to what the Bible teaches. Many leaders are focused on what they can get from their positions of authority rather than on what they can give to the works in which they are involved. While some view it as a tool for popularity and power, leadership is a privilege. Leadership requires responsibility. We need biblical leaders who are people of integrity and humility - leaders who are willing to be different.

On the far right are the patriarchal brethren who say women should be in complete submission to the men in all matters pertaining to religion and public assembly.

The church in America is facing a leadership crisis. We have deviated significantly from the simple nature of the church as God designed, and nowhere is that seen more than in the leadership concepts most local congregations implement and utilize. Jesus gave the pattern for church leadership in Matthew 20:20–28: “The rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you.” God is looking for leaders who will lay aside top-down structures and instead empower His people to be fully His and do the work He has designed ...
