New Piney Grove
2018 Theme
BIBLICAL
LEADERSHIP
SEPTEMBER’S THEME:
The
EFFECTIVENESS
to Lead
Effective: producing
a decided, decisive,
or desired effect.
The extent to which
any leadership is
effective, is the extent
to which it contributes
to God’s desired effect.
1 TIMOTHY 2:1-4 (ESV)
1 First of all, then, I urge that
supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and thanksgivings be made for all
people, 2 for kings and all who are in
high positions, that we may lead a
peaceful and quiet life, godly and
dignified in every way. 3 This is good,
and it is pleasing in the sight of God our
Savior, 4 who desires all people to be
saved and to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
Effective Biblical
leadership directs,
nudges and sometimes
even shoves people in
the direction of “the
knowledge of the
truth”.
Does my example
cause God to be seen
more clearly or known
more fully?
ROMANS 10:14-15 (NET)
14 How are they to call on one they
have not believed in? And how are
they to believe in one they have not
heard of? And how are they to hear
without someone preaching to them?
15 And how are they to preach unless
they are sent? As it is written, “How
timely is the arrival of those who
proclaim the good news.”
