Saddle Up - Booklet: Leading with Purpose, Posture, and Preparedness
Solomon declared that "A horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory comes from the LORD" (Prov. 21:31). He was reminding his readers that they needed to prepare themselves for battle but they dare not go into battle without God. The same is true for Bible study leaders. They need to prepare themselves to lead the group, but they need to do so with God leading them. We are seeking to make disciples which can not be done in our own strength. Leaders are called upon to be shaped by the truths they encounter and then pass those truths on to others, with God working in and through leaders.
Ken Braddy defines why our groups exist and why we do what we do as leaders. Knowing why our groups exist helps us understand our role and the responsibilities we carry as leaders. Michael Kelley examines how we as the leaders of a group set the standard for others to follow. Our group members look to us to show them how to live out the truths found in the Bible. Dwayne McCrary identifies actions we can take to prepare ourselves and our groups to make disciples. As partners with God, we must put ourselves and our groups in a position to be useful instruments of His.
This book is for church leaders and leaders of Bible study groups, especially Sunday School leaders.Customer Reviews
