EKKLESIA: The Necessity of Leadership (June 14 Notes)

11 And he has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers. 12 And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ. 13 These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness in the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed in the abundance of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-13 (TPT)

It’s not about titles it’s about heart.

You can love people whether or not they agree with you.

Loyalty is tested when we DON’T agree.  

Correct leadership preceded the Holy Spirit coming.

Covenant relationship is the foundation of the church.

When God wanted to touch the world he sent a SON, not a boss.

Unity does not mean uniformity.

Whatever you cultivate in you affects the world around you.

The ministry is not the church – it’s the Kingdom.

Whatever you cultivate in you affects the world around you.

In order to be commissioned you come into submission to the mission.

You can’t disrespect people and have authority.

You only have as much authority as you submit to.

People will do for money what they won’t do for love.
