Leadership is foundational to any organization, but when it comes to the church—the body of Christ—leadership is essential to fulfilling God’s mission. Good Christian leaders aren’t just a bonus; they are a biblical necessity. Without strong, godly leaders, the church will struggle to thrive, to grow, and to reach the world with the gospel.
Scripture References:
Ephesians 4:11-12
I Corinthians 12:12
Exodus 18
Hebrews 13:7
I Timothy 3:1-7
Ephesians 4:3
I Corinthians 1:10
Matthew 28:19-20
"Good leadership in the body of Christ isn’t just important; it’s essential. Without strong, godly leaders, the church cannot fulfill its mission to equip the saints, grow in unity, or spread the gospel to the ends of the earth. I hope today’s episode has inspired you to reflect on the role of leadership in your own life, whether you are already serving or just starting to sense the call. Remember, leadership isn’t about a title; it’s about serving others and pointing them to Jesus."

Be Willing to Let Go of Your Own Agenda – Recognize that God’s plan is better, even if it’s different from what we envisioned.

The Church! Part 2
Oct 28, 2024

Pastor Edwards teaches on the mission of the church. It has not changed since Jesus gave us the blueprints for it in Matthew 28:19-20. The church must rise up and follow the great commission. We have work to do!
Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
1. The Church is Called to Make Disciples
15:16 (NKJV), Jesus says: "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain."
2. Teaching and Observing the Commands of Christ
II Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) tells us: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Teaching is not just for knowledge but to help believers live godly, fruitful lives.
3. Baptizing New Believers
Romans 6:4 (NKJV) "Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
4. Reaching the Nations
Acts 1:8 (NKJV) "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
5. The Church's Power and Promise
Matthew 16:18 (NKJV): "I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."

The Bible is filled with examples of Jesus’ caring nature—His deep love for people, especially the broken, the hurting, and the outcast. As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect that same compassion in our lives. Let’s explore how Jesus showed compassion and how we, as His disciples, can carry that same heart into our world today.
Practical ways to live this out:
1. See people as Jesus sees people.
2. Step into their suffering.
3. Meet practical needs.
4. Pray for a heart of compassion.

Matthew 9:36
Mark 1:40-41
