If you were to describe a good leader, what character traits would you want at the top of a list? Many want leaders who are great… communicators, delegators, activators, persuaders, and the like. Obviously, these traits can make for really good leaders! But what’s interesting is that when the Bible talks about leadership, it often commends traits in a leader that we might not naturally put at the top of our lists.

We’re all leaders in some respect – in the workplace, the classroom, our homes, on the playing field – so it’s important to consider how we’re influencing others. This week, we continue our series in the book of Acts, studying scripture that shows us what makes good Christian leadership.

This Weeks Sermon: "Christian Resolve”

Sometimes God calls his followers into challenging circumstances. Jesus himself said “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” This essentially means we can expect hardship!… which, of course, we don’t particularly like. I know I don’t! And yet, Christians are called to be faithful even when it might otherwise be hard because it’s precisely these times that are often the most helpful in advancing of the gospel.

This Sunday, as we continue our series in the book of Acts, we’ll see how the apostle Paul was able to faithfully follow God in the midst of incredible hardship and trial. And the hope is it will help us, when the day comes (or perhaps for you that day is now!), when we too might glorify God in the midst of challenging circumstances.
