Series: Learn to Lead

When we think of the benefits of successful leadership, the list seems obvious: money, fame, power, control. But what if there was something even more valuable, more life-giving than any of the worldly rewards we usually chase? This week, we’ll finish up our exploration of the greatest kings of the Bible and see how they pursued wisdom above all other goals.

The are many dangers that can tank our leadership: bad decisions, pride, over-extension, even bad luck.  But what if the greatest danger to our leadership was something completely avoidable?  What if it’s the comfort and idleness that our growing leadership brings that could be our greatest undoing?  This week we’ll explore a famous biblical leader’s fall from grace, what seemingly-insignificant problem caused his fall, and how God eventually restored him.  We’ll find out that God can help protect us from that same danger, and offers us that same forgiveness.

When it comes to leadership, they say it’s “lonely at the top.” But the truth is, it can be lonely as we grow in leadership at any stage. The pressure to become a breakout star, to rise above others, and to achieve self-made success can leave us cold and isolated. But what if the key to real leadership wasn’t flying solo, but developing rich and supportive friendships? This week we’ll take a look at one of the most powerful friendships in the Bible and see how God uses deep relationships to help us maximize our personal influence.

Climbing the ladder of leadership and success is exhausting. And we’ve all heard the horror stories about the stress and fickle rewards that wait for us, even if we reach the top. So, what if there was a different path to becoming a person of powerful influence – a path that didn’t come at the cost of our families, our standards, and our own sense of wholeness? As we kick off this new fall season, we’ll start by exploring the story of how one of the most famous people in the Bible, King David, was called into leadership by God. We’ll discover God’s new and refreshing perspective on how each one of us can maximize our personal impact.
