What Type Of Leadership Are You Following?

Prepared By The Holy Ghost

Served By Stacey Lunsford - 5/17/09

1 Corinthians 11:1, be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ

What does it mean to be a follower?

In this text, Paul is saying follow me, imitate me, copy my actions, adopt my style, model yourself after me as I model myself after CHRIST.

When you are a follower of something, you are duplicating the actions of the one that you are following and you will do the things that, that person does....so my question today is, who are you following?

If you are a Christian, you should be following Christ.

If you are a Christian, you should be copying Christ.

If you are a Christian, you should be imitating Christ.

If you are a Christian, you should be duplicating Christ

If you are a Christian, you should be modeling yourself after Christ.

What type of leadership are you following?

Are you following godly leadership which is (submission to God) and the biblical principles and authority of God's Holy Word?

Or are you following self-centered leadership which is (submission to man) and the worldly principles and authority of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life?

Go ahead....pause and think about that! Some of you may not like the questions that I am presenting to you today because it's making you very uncomfortable. It's prompting you to remove the scales from your eyes and deal with the things that you see that are wrong; it's causing you to deal with the things that you hear that are not lined up with the word of God and I encourage you today to....

Stop doubting what you see!

Stop doubting what you hear!
