Christian Leadership: A Biblical Call to Serve, Not to Be Served | Bible School

Discover the true essence of Christian leadership - biblical principles of servant leadership, humility, and stewardship under the lordship of Christ. Unlike worldly models of leadership rooted in ambition, hierarchy, and domination, Christian leadership is a sacred, God-ordained calling that emphasises service, sacrifice, and faithfulness to God's Word.

In this lecture, we explore the biblical foundation - Matthew 23:11-12, Mark 10:42-45, 1 Corinthians 12, Philippians 2:5-8, and 1 Timothy 3:1-13. Learn how Jesus, the ultimate servant leader, sets the example by washing His disciples' feet and laying down His life for us. This message challenges us to rethink leadership—not as climbing a ladder of status, but as carrying the towel of service, just as Christ did.
