Consider the example of David's mighty men, what a tribute to leadership. Think of churches you have known. The answer is often in the leadership. Realistically the problem is not only the preacher, but the entire leadership. The preacher may contribute to the problem or to solutions to the problem, but the problem is seldom exclusively the preacher.
Leaders have a certain characteristic that is vital.
But this lesson will not focus on the character, characteristics, qualities, qualifications of leaders. This lesson will focus on results. Leaders help a church toward health, if they themselves are healthy. Effective Leaders Exemplify and Encourage a Healthy Church Intellectually. Thinking is hard spiritual work.
