At a time when our world seems desperate for effective leaders, the church has the opportunity to display Biblical leadership. From the individual leadership of one’s personal life, to the domestic leadership of family life, to the public leadership of ministry settings — at all levels and in all arenas, we must be Biblical leaders. Jesus taught His disciples a leadership style that contrasted markedly with the philosophy of His day. "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them" (Matthew 20:25). These words easily express the elements so frequently associated with leadership: position ("rulers"), power ("lord"), prestige ("great"), and privilege ("exercise authority"). Jesus quickly countered current thought: "Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave" (Matthew 20:26, 27). Yes, Jesus described His model for leadership as a slave task! Join us on a journey to explore the only leadership model and style ordained by God. Welcome to the high and holy task of Biblical Slave Leadership.

The Communion Service is an essential ministry for many reasons. The truths represented in Communion are the fundamental doctrines that set Christianity apart from any other religion. Those truths need to be presented and defended. According to some, doctrine has become a bad word that narrows and limits the ministries of the church; but our foundation rests upon the death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and imminent return of Christ. Those central doctrines are all presented in the ordinance of the Lord’s Table. "In Remembrance of Me is a profound work of passion and extensive study by a pastor for pastors, deacons, and the faithful. It skillfully educates all to see the Communion Service as far more than a sacred ordinance to be administered periodically by the New Testament church."
Leadership is simple… but difficult. In a remote village in Africa where the author grew up, the noise of Western life fades away to reveal the drumbeat of 20 basic leadership principles. This book uses cultural examples and wildlife illustrations to observe leadership in its most primitive form.
