Many people in our culture cringe when they hear words like leadership,

authority, and submission. The same is true for some Christians, especially those

who've experienced harsh, self-serving, or abusive leadership in the church.

However, our response to bad leadership as followers of Christ should not be to

reject all forms of leadership. Our response should be to embrace good biblical

leadership. In this message from Hebrews chapter 13 verse 17, David Platt points

us to the Bible's teaching on biblical leadership in the church. God has given

leaders as a gift to the church, not to serve for their own interests, but to

serve for the glory of God and the good of others. Submission to this kind of

leadership is good for our souls. This is the Radical with David Platt podcast.

Here is David with a message titled, You Need Biblical Leadership. If you have a

Bible, and I hope you or somebody around you does, that you can look on way.

Let me invite you to open to me to Hebrews chapter 13. It's near the end of the

Bible. Feel free to use table of contents if you need to. Hebrews chapter 13. And as

you're turning, I want to welcome those of you in Arlington and MoCo and PW and

Loudon and online. It's good to be together around God's Word. Please forgive my

voice a bit today, along with about half of the DMV. I'm a bit under the

weather right now, but I did not want to miss this Sunday and light of something

we're going to do together a few minutes from now. We're in week 11 of 12

weeks in God's Word, seeing how every one of us needs a biblical church. How

God has uniquely designed the church. I'm like any other group or organization or

gathering in the world for our good and how we will not experience. You will not.
