Genuine Leadership Workshop

This workshop is designed to teach participants how to develop a genuine relationship with the Creator, which will enable them to clearly know His will and live according to it. Through transformative experiences, we will explore how God's grace can radically change our lives. The focus will be on strengthening the commitments, convictions, and attitudes that define authentic leadership, empowering each person to lead with integrity, purpose, and self-control, impacting their environment and ministry.

Ministry Leadership is a stewardship, it’s temporary, and you’re accountable. 

1 Timothy 1:12 NIV - “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.”

God appoints leaders in His family. God gives strength for any assignment given to us.

Ministry Leadership is the conviction that What I do is important and the skill to ask others to join along.

ACTS 6 — Steven was full of HS. Laid hands on him, so he could serve and administer with excellence.

Ministry grows, when others step into assignments and opportunities

God entrusts ministry leadership to those who have Godly character and ability.

Romans 12:9–12 “9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good. 10 Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another. 11 Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.

Genuine Love (v 9 &10)

love for God

What we do is important, but nothing is as important as our love for Jesus.

The role you play is important; you are more significant than your role.

Acts 4:13 - When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

You don’t want to give people you…you want to give them Jesus.

love for holiness

pure hearts…wholehearted devotion.

vulnerable in confession

Confess sins to others to be healed, made whole. When was the last time you confessed a sin to someone?

love for people

honor - Act in a way that helps others see God’s value toward them.

Jesus came to serve, not be served (Mark 10:45).

Honor up, down, and around.

When we choose demonstrate honor, God pours out a move of His presence.

Mark 6 Jesus couldn’t do great things because spirit of dishonor.

Passionate Diligence

(11) — “Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord”

commitment to doing your best

Passion and joy in what you do.

Fever, zeal, passion for God’s house… no greater privilege than to serve God in His house.

Diligence and excellence are seen in the details of our work.

Mark 7:37 - People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said.

Jesus’ work ethic was diligent.

Daniel was distinguishing/exceptional in his work (Dan 6:1-3)

Excellence is not perfection.

Illus: chairs being straight...excellence helps others feel cared for.

Excellence means we get better every time we do something.

Diligence is improving each time:

Do more than what’s expected.

Do more than expected without being asked.

Be Teachable

pride resists it altogether, but Humility invites feedback.

Feedback give us new perspective

Feedback helps us anticipate problems while they are small.

Luke 5 - teachable spirit obey even against conventional wisdom.

Instruction is automatically received and applied, without filtering it for our opinion or if it will work or not.

Persistent Prayer (12)

12 Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.

Fervent in the Spirit brings strength.

Strength is developed through A Standard

Samson lived by God’s standard and he got great strength. He stopped living by the standard and he lost strength.

Daniel prayed 3 x a day

Live by principles and practices, not pressures

Your spiritual strength never grows when you lower your standards.

Prayer Keeps your eyes away from comparison.

Luke 9:57-62

We will be tempted to stop working hard or overwhelmed.

We start looking around at what has been plowed and want to rest, slow down or stop.

We must keep plowing.

Prayer Keeps your Eyes on Jesus.

Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Galatians 6:6–10 “Let the one who is taught the word share all his good things with the teacher. Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.”

1 Timothy 4:12–16 “Don’t let anyone despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. Until I come, give your attention to public reading, exhortation, and teaching. Don’t neglect the gift that is in you; it was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of hands by the council of elders. Practice these things; be committed to them, so that your progress may be evident to all. Pay close attention to your life and your teaching; persevere in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
