Discussion for March 28th

LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM THE BIBLE

Whether it's our chapel or our country, our place of work or our community - we're always thinking about leadership - being leaders, complaining about leaders, praising leaders, advising leaders, choosing leaders, dumping leaders, preparing leaders...

Who should lead? How should they lead? And what is there in the Bible to help us form a view on leadership?

THIS MONDAY (28TH MARCH) BRING YOUR OWN BIBLICAL RESOURCES ON LEADERSHIP. WHO ARE THE BEST/WORST LEADERS IN THE BIBLE? WHAT'S THE BEST/WORST ADVICE THAT BIBLICAL AUTHORS HAVE ABOUT BEING A LEADER? ARE THERE ANY BIBLICAL LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP THAT UNITARIAN & FREE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES SHOULD TAKE ON BOARD?

From Noah to Nathan, from Deborah to David: the Bible is brimming with leaders, and examples, instructions and wisdom about leadership. And then there's Jesus. He had a lot to say about leadership, as did the authors of the New Testament epistles.

It's a 'bring your own' discussion, but if you're stuck looking for verses relevant to leadership you might want to consider...
