#5 How do I Develop the Quality of Leadership?

Philippians 4:4-13

As a believer in Christ, I am a leader in ________ or ____________ ways.

Col 3:17 (NIV) And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him

     Cross      I__________ as many people as possible by modeling Godly leadership

Matt 23:11 (NLT) The greatest among you must be a servant.

2 Tim 2:15 (NIV) Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth

     Cross      I___________________ the potential leaders around me

Acts 16:1-3 (NIV) He came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where a disciple named Timothy lived, whose mother was a Jewess and a believer, but whose father was a Greek. 2 The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. 3 Paul wanted to take him along on the journey, so he circumcised him because of the Jews who lived in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 

     Cross      I_________________ in all of them to help them grow spiritually

Phil 2:13 (NIV) for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

     Cross      I___________________ some of them in serving opportunities

Gal 5:13-14 (NIV) You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

     Cross      I______ a few of them to step into an appropriate leadership role

2 Tim 2:2 (NIV) And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.

Heb 13:7 (NIV) Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

Steve & Lisa Rief, Redland, OR

Coastal Northwest District: Ken & Charlotte Schmidt

  Redland is in rural Clackamas County about 20 miles southeast of Portland. Most residences are on multiple acre lots and many have horses, livestock, or hay fields. This beautiful area was once home to vast berry farms; today Christmas tree farms and small ranches dot the area. Redland is primarily a bedroom community for the nearby metro area. 

PRAYER REQUESTS: 1) Please pray for us as we reach out to the Redland community with monthly Family Fun Nights and our Free Zone Clothing Outlet—stocked with clothing and necessary items. 2) Pray for our ministry to women as we create gift baskets for mothers who choose life. 3) Pray for continued unity among our church board and church body. Pray that we would humbly evaluate all we do by His Word.
