2 Samuel 18:2- serving with the troops

  David sent out his troops,  a third under the command of Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai  son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai  the Gittite. The king told the troops, “I myself will surely march out with you.” 2 Samuel 18:2 I love the life of King David.  He is a great example of what a leader can, could, and should be.  I love the love of King David because he is a leader that everyone can look at and seem themselves in one or more aspects of his life.   He is a man who desires to follow God.  He is a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22).  He is a man who desires fellowship with God, and yet he is a man whose own sin nature gets in his way (2 Sam. 11).  There are many lessons to learn from the life of King David (one is which I hope to begin to study).   Today, as I was reading through 2 Samuel 18 this verse jumped out and I saw a leadership principle that I still have not been able to forget.  Don't ask the people you are leading to do something that you are

 Today we start a new book by Henry and Richard Blackaby- Spiritual leadership.   What is leadership?  What is spiritual leadership?  If we are called to be leaders, where is the destination and what is the goal that we are pointing people towards?  Today we will try to answer that question during our weekly leadership study. https://youtu.be/2EUI6jGKJKE

Tom's Wednesday Leadership Thought- The Law of Explosive Growth

Image
  Wednesday October 21 We all want to see growth in the area where we work. How did God set up the church to experience growth, especially in the leadership of the church? I believe Ephesians 4:11 -12 can help answer that question. https://youtu.be/C2iZ1NT6Ijc

Leadership Thought for 10/14- Law of Connection

  The Law of Connection Sometimes, as a leader, we begin to have an ego and we think of ourselves as more important than we should. That issue of pride comes in. As leaders we need to be approachable and be able to connect with those we are leading. https://youtu.be/m5xINtHpG3c
