ACTS-8/29/10

Leading People Who Don’t Have To Follow

True leadership is all about Influence .

“Leadership is influence.” – John C. Maxwell

“The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.”

- Ken Blanchard

True leadership is having Character .

True leadership Multiplies Itself  .

Hebrew Method…

·        I do it…

·        I do it – and you watch .

·        You do it – and I watch .

·        You do it

Jesus modeled this…

“And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.” (Matthew 9:35 ESV)

He did it.

“Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38 ESV)

He did it, and they watched.

“And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.” (Matthew 10:1 ESV)

They did it, and he watched.

“These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them…” (Matthew 10:5 ESV)

They did it.
