Spiritual leadership blends natural and spiritual
qualities.
Spiritual Leadership transcends the power of
personality and all other natural gifts.
Spiritual leadership requires superior spiritual power,
which can never be generated by the self.
Spiritual leadership influences others through natural
gifts as the Holy Spirit works in and through the leader.
4. John Mott and Spiritual Leadership
“Leadership in the sense of rendering maximum
service; leadership in the sense of the largest
unselfishness; in the sense of full-hearted absorption in
the greatest work of the world; building up the
kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(Sanders p. 32)

Heresy #1
Success in ministry is determined by numbers.
Being focused on the numbers can cause:
Pride
Discouragement (When growth stops or levels off)
Drivenness (Work harder and smarted to the point of
exhaustion)
Compromise (The Gospel Message)
Comparison (Measuring ourselves by others)
6. God’s Truth
Success in ministry is measured by…
Faithfulness (Matthew 25:14-23) Are we being faithful
to God and his calling?
Bearing Fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) Are we bearing the
fruit of the Spirit in our daily walk.
Fulfillment (John 15:11) Are you fulfilled in the
ministry you are doing? Could you do anything else
and still be fulfilled-Joyful?
Glorifying God (1 Peter 4:11) Are you making God
famous?

Heresy #2

thereby bringing glory to His name. (1 Peter 4:10-11)
