Matthew 20:20-28 (the 20/20 vision of leadership)
"Go Getters to Go Givers"
J.D. Parrish - "Wounds ooze blood but scars ooze wisdom". A man entering the church foyer once called out, "Is there any wisdom in here?" J.D. Parrish responded, "There should be -- there's plenty of scars!"
- There is a difference between the world's way and God's way.
- Leadership's going to cost you something -- salvation's free, but not it's not cheap.
- Kingdom promotion comes through submission. Submission means moving without detail -- you don't have to have the t's crossed and i's dotted.
- Your level of authority equals your level of submission.
- Leaders must set the example of what they want in their leaders
Five Lessons Learned:
The Law of Value
Matt 10:29-31
There is a difference between value and cost/price.
America knows the cost of everything, but the value of nothing.
True worth is not your paycheck.
Value is what you leave in others.
The Law of Compensation
Matt 6:31-34
Income determined by ___?
The Law of Influence
Ps 75:6-7
Your influence is determined by how much you place the needs of others above your own.
The Law of Authenticity
I Cor 13:1-3
Must be the same in and out of church.
Must be real.
The Law of Reciprocation
Gal 6:6-10
The key to being able to effectively give is to be able to humbly receive.
What if God wanted us to give $1 million? Most of us would have to receive it first.
God wants to get us to where we are giving amounts we don't have.
