Summary
Being a strong leader doesn't require a large following or the type of influence that's recognized by others. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what makes leaders great, according to Jesus, and how this differs from the world's standards. He reviews passages from Hebrews 11 and Acts 16, highlighting people who allowed God to speak into their lives and their determination to follow Him, even when it required changing their course. At times their faithfulness led to opposition, not applause. We will encounter the same today as we follow the Lord into the assignments He has for us. The season ahead will require a new level of interdependence on the Lord—a desire to seek His wisdom and follow His Spirit, so we can recognize His truth amongst the confusion.
