Leaders Serve

August 1, 2017

When Jesus’ disciples quarreled over who among them was greatest, He called their attention to His new style of assessing importance. He told them that attaining greatness required becoming a slave. Leading would mean taking the role of a servant. Jesus’ own example shows us what servant-leadership looks like:

• We are called by God to serve and lead.
• We intimately know the people we serve and lead.
• We care deeply about those we serve and lead.
• We willingly sacrifice our own convenience to meet the needs of people we serve and lead.
