Pastor Mark really hit some critical topics within our leadership roles as Christians. One, there was a direct challenge from scripture towards Timothy/us (fan into flames our gifts). But then there was a direct action that needs to be implemented as leaders, see those gifts in others. The one big truth that I took away from this area was, we ought to "give up so that others can go up". When we do this I believe it positions us as a servant leader and it allows the individual to grow. It is a win/win attribute within the sphere of leadership. It also keeps us humbled and allows us to keep the proper focus in not being owners but stewards/managers of the talents entrusted to us. One thing that I have prayed that I would model in this journey of Servant/Leadership is, "One is too small of a number to achieve greatness". So, why do we go at it alone? Invite others along with you! Mother Theresa quoted, "I can do what you can't do, you can do what I can't do; but together, we can do it all"........ This past weeks meesage was simply powerful!
