Servant Leader or Self-Serving Leader?

Leading Like Jesus

"You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them."But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

Servant leadership was modeled by Jesus and is applicable to every arena of our lives:

Family – as Spouses and Parents
Church - serving God by serving people
Work – with or without formal authority

When we embrace the concept of servant leadership, we will understand that it is:

A Responsibility, not a Rank

Involves Sacrifice at the expense of Selfishness

Is a Duty, and there is no room for Domination

Is Intentional about Developing Others

Is Measured by Changed Lives
