Jesus is the greatest leader we have ever known and He never used the word leadership. He lived it. He taught it. He empowered others with opportunity, accountability, and celebration. In this hour, we need leaders who will not use their platform for personal ascendancy, but instead use their influence to add value and life to others. Let’s rise up and be a life-giving leader.

Between humanity’s great need and Christ’s great miracle exists a chasm that needs to be occupied by hope-filled leaders who have a surrendered heart in partnership with the Holy Spirit. That kind of leadership is the result of healthy discipleship. Examining the story of feeding the five thousand, we see how we can become a hope-filled, life-giving leader in this time of great need.

Leadership is about showing, saying something valuable, and doing something valuable. In this message, Pastor Lance walks us through some important things the Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Philippi to help us have proper leadership presence, proclamation, and practice.

In a world drunk on negativity, we need the life-giving leadership that believes that a person can make a positive difference in a negative world. While we can’t affect all of society, we can affect someone and in this message, Lance offers three simple ideas to help us make a positive difference.

Leadership principles outside of God’s presence or an intentional relationship with Jesus will work. However, leadership marinated in prayer and pointed towards God’s mission works better. In this message, Pastor Lance pulls some powerful insights from Acts 13:1-4 to help us be more confident that our leadership is bathed in prayer and offering life to those we lead.

Life giving leadership begins with ministry to our missional God who responds to our worship with an invitation into a purposeful life of serving others. In this message, Lance shares two insights taken from Acts 13:-4 that will help us understand what life-giving leadership looks like.
