Leadership in High Def (2 of 5)
Series: Life in HD
James Merritt
Luke 7:1-10
Introduction
1. My entrance into the ministry was not as a pastor. My introduction to ministry came when I was asked to become a minister to students.

Everybody has influence over somebody else. If you have influence over anyone then you are a leader.
