Buried between the pages, lines, and stories of Luke's gospel are priceless and powerful insights into leadership in the kingdom Jesus came to build. This class works to dig out those lessons. It is designed for anyone called to church leadership at the ministry, operational, or governance levels.
Luke set out to capture the full story - a complete account of Jesus' life - organized for a reader to discover how Jesus lived and led. As a Greek medical doctor and faithful follower of Jesus in first-century Asia Minor, Luke was uniquely equipped for this task. This class starts with the ways Jesus modeled leadership, then brings those principles into contemporary church life.
