​Images of Leadership: Biblical Leadership is an Art

Picture
Leadership is an art, not a science.  Simple formulas seldom work.  Indeed, most of the time, effective ministry leadership is a process of discerning the purposes of God and gaining understanding of the Scriptures that God uses to show us the way.
The Bible shows us inspiring images of leadership in the history of Israel, the parables and teaching of Jesus Christ, and the stories of His disciples.  The images are multi-dimensional. When we examine them from different angles we perceive their profound meaning, subtle complexity, and beauty.  Effective leadership depends on seeing in the images of biblical leadership what God is revealing to us for our own ministry context and time.
Images of Leadership is designed to help you as a leader better understand and apply the images of leadership in the Bible.  You'll have a training experience that is:
  • BIBLICAL: Each session includes an inductive study of Scripture.
  • INTERACTIVE: Each session offers a shared experience in Scripture that enables you to apply God's Word to your specific contexts.
  • INSIGHTFUL: Each session includes both familiar and unfamiliar passages of Scripture, with keen insights for leadership in your ministry.
  • INTEGRATED: Each session integrates personal faith development with leadership principles.
  • PRACTICAL: Each session presents practical skills and tools for leadership through case studies and personal exercises.
PATTERN FOR EACH SESSION
Images of Leadership is more than a series of pictures about biblical leadership for churches today.  You'll discover that each session of this program is an experience that deepens Christian faith and inspires your church's leaders to seek God's will.
Each session contains:
  • DISCUSSION-BASED BIBLE STUDY
  • BRIEF SUMMARY IN A LECTURE FORMAT
  • CASE STUDY FOR SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS, PERSONAL INVENTORIES, AND INTER ACTIVE EXERCISES
