Servant Leadership… In too many churches today, head tables have replaced the towel and the wash-basin as symbols of leadership among God’s people.

Those who lead in God’s
Kingdom should lead
from a kneeling position,
dressed like a
servant, meeting
the needs of those
who follow them.

Leadership is the sphere of influence which inspires people to follow the leader in the attainment of mutually agreed upon goals.
The leader gives leadership by providing both the influence and inspiration that causes people to want to follow.

We understand servant leadership by looking at Jesus’ life. Jesus came as a servant:“who, although He existed in the form of
God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.”
Philippians 2:6-7
