=Sesiunea a noua: Conducerea bisericii (Slujirea)=

În această sesiune veți descoperi responsabilitatea de a crește alți conducători și ce anume are de spus Biblia despre tipul de conducător-slujitor pe care Isus îl dorește pentru biserică.

Inima unui conducător (40 min)

 * Închinați-vă împreună, în grupul mare
 * Participanții se despart în grupuri de 3-4 persoane și discută următoarele:
 * Ce înveți despre cum să rămâi în Cristos prin intermediul Cuvântului, rugăciunii, ascultării, R-G-Î, relații și părtășie?
 * În ce domenii ale vieții tale ascultarea de Dumnezeu este o provocare?
 * Ce conflict nerezolvat ai?
 * Ce s-a întâmplat când I-ai încredintat lui Dumnezeu scopurile tale după ultima noastră întâlnire?

Exprimarea viziunii pentru inimă
'Ce anume îți aduce bucurie? Viața lui Ioan Botezătorul ne poate învăța despre bucuria adevărată. Citiți Ioan 3:27-30. Ioan avea perspectiva cea bună. Știa cine era el și știa cine era Isus. El a învățat care este izvorul bucuriei. Ioan spune: „prietenul mirelui, care stă şi-l ascultă, se bucură foarte mult când aude glasul mirelui, şi această bucurie, care este a mea, este deplină.” Bucuria lui era deplină pentru că stătea lângă Mire și Îl auzea vorbind. Adevărata bucurie se găsește lângă Isus, ascultându-I vocea. Ioan mai știa de asemenea că după ce L-a auzit pe Isus vorbind, nu putea face decât să asculte de El. Ioan știa că era vorba despre a fi centrat pe Isus și nu pe el însuși. Ioan a spus: „Trebuie ca El să crească, iar eu să mă micşorez.” Este vorba despre a muri față de noi înșine și a deveni ascultători de voia Sa. Ioan era un exemplu grozav în această privință. El a învățat care este izvorul bucuriei adevărate supunându-se lui Isus.'

Discovery Bible Study - Servant Leadership

Review:  The Four Responsibilities of a Leader


 * 1) Equip believers to do works of service
 * 2) Shepherd Christ’s sheep
 * 3) Be an example
 * 4) Develop other Leaders

Section 1: Responsibility #4 – Develop other Leaders 

Jesus’ Example: Mark 3:13-14; Matthew 9:35-10:4; John 17:18-20

Paul’s Example: 2 Timothy 2:2, Acts 14:21-23, Acts 20:4


 * After they have all shared their assigned verses, have each person in the groups share
 * What caught your attention? (or What did you like best?) Why?

'Summary: An important responsibility of leaders is to always be looking for other people to develop as leaders. Jesus intentionally developed others and sent them out to continue the work of expanding God’s Kingdom. Paul also followed this example of developing a network of leaders to help in the work. Biblical leaders serve others by identifying and empowering them to lead.'

Section 2: Servants of the Servant
Motivations for Leadership: Mathew 20:20-28; 1 Peter 5:1-4

Jesus’ Model of Leadership: John 13:1-7; Philippians 2:3-11


 * After they have all shared their assigned verses, have each person in the groups share
 * What caught your attention? (or What did you like best?) Why?
 * How do local leaders in your area usually lead?
 * What “rights” did Jesus empty himself of?
 * What will you do to lead like Jesus?

'Summary: Worldly leadership looks for power, respect, pleasure, titles and it wants to be the focal point. Worldly leaders control those they oversee and often do not do what they themselves teach. Biblical leadership serves others like Jesus did. It is interesting that Jesus washed the feet of Judas Iscariot too; He loved his enemy. Biblical leaders put their member’s needs before their own needs and empower them to serve Christ. They empty themselves and humble themselves by sacrificing their desires for power, position and popularity. Godly leadership leads by example instead of leading by controlling people and telling them what to do. '

Humble yourself      Not lord it over them      Slave of All     Being an example

Preparing for Mission (20 mins)

 * Wash each other’s feet.
 * In small groups, have each trainee Evaluate how they are doing in developing others and in servant leadership. Have them Make a plan on how to achieve this goal.
 * Write “I will by when” statements. Include “Who will you teach this lesson to?”
 * Practice any additional skill that the leaders need in leading their groups or starting new ones

Sending the Laborers

 * Reinforce the overall vision: a church or faith community for every 1,000 people
 * Spend time in Prayer:
 * committing the goals that were set to the Lord
 * for God to raise up a movement of churches
 * for more laborers to come out of the harvest
