"As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:9-13)I will be in California both Thursday and Sunday this week. So, Doug DeWitt will be leading our devotion time. Doug has a PHD in Leadership and I am sure that his insight will be great for this week’s topic!
This week we want to talk about what leadership is at its core. There are a lot of opinions about what leadership is and there are allot of books written about the topic. Take a look at the scripture passage above and see if you can find the principle of leadership in Christ’s interaction with Matthew.
As you watch this week's video (CLICK HERE), think about these questions:
- What cultural components affected Christ’s interaction with Matthew?
- How does your personality and gifts affect your leadership?
- What part do relationships play in leadership?
- How do your past experiences (successful and unsuccessful) affect your leadership?
Have a great time talking about this foundational truth and I look forward to seeing you all again next week.
