Lead Where You Are: King During this pandemic, leadership is needed now more than ever. No matter who you are, someone is looking to you to help them through. Christ’s ministry consisted of three ways He led us – as a prophet (someone who proclaimed God’s Word), as a priest (someone who sacrificed on our behalf), and as a king (someone who rules according to God’s ways). Christ, in turn, gives to us what He has done. When He sacrificed His very life, God vindicated this sacrifice by giving Him the Name that is above every name. His reputation is spotless, which is why countless millions follow Him. What do our reputations look like? Do our reputations show us to be people who live for My Next Step(s): - I will take 1 Cor. 7:17​ to heart—and lead from the POSITION God has me in now. - I will temper whatever leadership I exert with the PERSPECTIVE that Jesus is Lord. - I will lead in a way that PERSUADES others to live out their God-given purpose. - I will allow God to work in me to will and to act in order to fulfill His PURPOSE in me.

Christ, in turn, gives to us what He has done. He is a prophet who calls us to speak His Word as His witnesses. … It can be tempting to grumble and argue during a time like this. Yet, we are called to hold on to and hold out God’s Word of life to a world that needs it. This is what Paul did for the Philippians and this is what we are called to do for our world. My Next Step(s): - I will seek to reduce my grumbling, complaining and arguing. - I will reflect before I speak, recognizing that sometimes I lead by what I do NOT say. - I will be intentional about what I DO say - such that I hold forth the Word of Life. - I will seek to leave a legacy that brings glory to God on the Day Jesus returns.

We can never finish the things we never start. Sometimes, we spend so much time thinking about how to start something that we never actually start it. In this message we look at how Moses had a few excuses when God told him to go back to Egypt and free the Israelites. But for every excuse, God will always be with us and equip us when we step out in faith. Questions: - What do you want the end of your life to look like? - How will you do what you can to get started this week? - What’s something mundane in your everyday life—like Moses’ staff—that you’ll allow God to use mightily this year? - How will you experience Jesus’ presence “with you” this week? Action: - Decide today to “know who you’re with.” Invite the Holy Spirit to embolden you with His presence daily. - Stop worrying about “mile marker 20” - just start with step one and trust God with the journey.

Faith Alone The way in which we receive God’s grace is through faith. We trust that God wants to forgive and save us. If we seek to work for what God has given, we are saying that God’s work is not enough. Do we trust God’s work so completely that we do not try to add to it or augment it? My Next Step(s): - I will check sources to verify the truth of something before sharing it. - I will not lie or “move the mark” in order to justify myself! - I will not justify my sinfulness by comparing myself to others. God is my standard. - I will examine the Scriptures to “test” what they say about me, and about God. - I will find true peace through Faith Alone in Christ Alone by Grace Alone.

Christ Alone - It is tempting to exalt ourselves over Christ. John the Baptist, however, knew that things work the way they should only when we decrease and Christ increases.
