Sunday Morning Message from March 20th, 2005

Click here to listen to Pastor Joe's Sermon, entitled "Lessons for Leaders". This week it's about 14.4 MB (1 hour and 3 minutes).

Recap of Acts 20:13-21
Paul's model of ministry- ministry should be characterized by:
-transparency and consistency (vs. 18)
-humility (vs. 19) - true humility is not thinking too lowly of ourselves or too highly of ourselves, it is freedom from thinking of ourselves at all which leads to true freedom to minister to others.
-tenderness, compassion, sorrow (vs. 19)
-boldness in preaching/teaching (vv. 20-21) - we must never shrink back from the truth of the Word in fear of others or in pandering to others.
