=Session 7: Church Leadership (Responsibility)=

In this session, you will identify the four responsibilities of church leaders and discover what the Bible teaches about the important role leaders play in a local body of believers.

Heart of a Leader

 * 1) What are you learning about abiding in Christ? How are you practicing abiding through His Word, prayer, obedience, PCS, relationships and fellowship?
 * 2) In what areas of your life do you find it challenging to obey God?
 * 3) What unresolved conflict do you have?
 * 4) In what areas are you believing God by faith, beyond your own ability?

Celebration of Faithfulness

 * Share what has happened since the last meeting. Ask them to relate it to goals from the last meeting.

Iron on Iron: Sharpening Myself and Others
 Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another.” 


 * 1) What is going well?
 * 2) What is not going well?  What obstacles are you facing?
 * 3) What are possible solutions from the other group members?
 * 4) What do you need to do to add the missing characteristics into each group?
 * 5) Where will you start a new group or church this month?
