Introduction to the Leadership Themes from the Gospels
We may need to rediscover what Christ calls us to when we lead and manage His Church.
Is your church dedication to Christ's Sovereignty and Lordship?
Are you in leadership to serve or be served?
Is your church's direction from Christ our Lord or from what is happening now?

Bible Research
How to Lead Inductive Bible Studies
How to incorporate an "Inductive" type of study into your home or church Bible study
If you lead a Bible Study, you are called to teach the Bible, not pool ignorance!
We are to lead our learners to the wonders and principles of the passage at hand. You can learn to do this and do it well! You can show the precepts, ideas, and truths of our Lord. You can be the mentor and disciple maker that our Lord has called. You are to lift up the cross, the Person of Christ, and what He has done. You are also to show others what you have learned and still be growing yourself, to show the wonder and truth of a life that affects all of our being.
