Title: Leadership Lessons From The Greatest Leader (3)
Series: Lessons In Leadership

Through it all, and knowing He had the power of heaven behind Him, even when they tried to kill Him, He was the one who laid down His life for you and for me. His life was consistent; His message was consistent; His ministry was consistent; and His leadership was consistent. I think it would be a very good idea for us to take Leadership Lessons from the Greatest Leader.

If a leader does not, they begin to lose credibility with their followers. Whatever God has promised to do, He has always brought it to pass. 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us." I understand that God has powers that we don't have, but I als ...
