Raising Up Leaders 3 – World’s Greatest Leader

RAISING UP LEADERS

RAISING UP LEADERS 3 - WORLD'S GREATEST LEADER

JAKE STIMPSON | LEADERSHIP | EQUIPPING THE SAINTS | TRAINING | ADVENTURE | SERVANT | CRITICS

When you think of history’s greatest leaders, who comes to mind? Maybe great men or women like George Washington, Winston Churchill, Mother Teresa, or Martin Luther King. Steven Covey defined leadership as “communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.” With this definition, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better leader than Jesus, a man who took 12 average guys and created a 2000-year-old organization that has spread to every corner of the planet. So what were Jesus’ leadership qualities? How can we be a leader like Him?

Raising Up Leaders 2 – Soldiers, Athletes, and Farmers

RAISING UP LEADERS

RAISING UP LEADERS 2 - SOLDIERS, ATHLETES, AND FARMERS

JAKE STIMPSON | LEADERSHIP | EQUIPPING THE SAINTS | TRAINING | ROMAN SOLDIERS | OLYMPIC GAMES

2 Timothy 2:3-6 – “Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” To pursue your calling in God and carry the burden of leadership is not going to be easy. In fact, it’s going to take a lot of hard work, suffering like a Roman soldier, giving it your all like an Olympic athlete, working long hard hours to get a harvest like a farmer.

Raising Up Leaders 1 – A New Concept of Leadership

RAISING UP LEADERS

RAISING UP LEADERS 1 - A NEW CONCEPT OF LEADERSHIP

JAKE STIMPSON | LEADERSHIP | EARLY CHURCH | BOOK OF ACTS | EQUIPPING THE SAINTS | TRAINING

When Jesus launched His church, it was a kingdom operating under radical new concepts of leadership. Rather than finding leaders from among the nobility, the skilled, the strong, or any number of other criteria, Jesus found His leaders from among normal people coming from all walks of life. He took them, with all their hang-ups, imperfections, and flaws, and raised them up to become pillars in His new Kingdom. This was a radical new concept of leadership, one that is ingrained in the DNA of the church to this day. So what are you going to do about it? Will you let Jesus raise you up to carry the burden of leadership in His church? Or will you let others have all the fun? 🙂

MAKING DISCIPLES 2 - THE CALL TO MULTIPLY

JAKE STIMPSON | MAKING DISCIPLES | GREAT COMMISSION | GLORY OF GOD | MULTIPLICATION | BE FRUITFUL

From the very beginning of creation, God’s heart has been to multiply His glory until it fills the earth. How did He decide to do this? By creating people, crowned with glory and honor, invested with His image, and giving them a passion to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, bringing His glory everywhere they go (Genesis 1:28). This is the ultimate goal of making disciples, to spread the glory of God throughout the earth and throughout the generations.

PREACHING THE GOSPEL 5 - WDJD

JAKE STIMPSON | VISION | PREACHING THE GOSPEL | RAY COMFORT | THE LAW | 10 COMMANDMENTS

Would you take medicine if you didn’t know you were sick? Would you leave a burning building if you didn’t know it was on fire? Would you take your car to the mechanic if you thought everything was in tip-top shape? Of course not. Is it any wonder, then, that those who don’t know they need saving so often reject the Savior? How can we communicate the Gospel in a way that creates solid disciples of Jesus who cling to the Savior through thick and thin? There’s obviously no one answer, but evangelist Ray Comfort has an incredibly effective method he calls WDJD.

PREACHING THE GOSPEL 2 - WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?

JAKE STIMPSON | PREACHING THE GOSPEL | GREAT COMMISSION | EVANGELISM | FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS

When you live in Wisconsin, you grow to like cheese. It’s just part of our DNA up here in the frozen tundra. Probably literally a part of our DNA at this point. After a few years as a missionary in Romania, we were hankering for some good cheddar cheese. We visited international stores, talked to expats, and kept our eyes constantly open, always on the hunt for the elusive dairy product that would satisfy our wildest dreams. When we finally tracked some down, we told everyone we knew where to get it. Why? Because finding good cheddar in Eastern Europe is good news. The Greek word translated “Gospel” literally means “good news.” What is this good news? How can we share it? Watch the video…
