Entrusted Leader Kit

We were never meant to take this journey of faith alone or in secret. God has entrusted us with the great and mighty gift of the gospel, something too precious and life-giving to keep to ourselves. In this 6-session Bible study, Beth will encourage you to guard what God has entrusted to you, further His kingdom by sharing Christ with others, and pour into future generations just as Paul once mentored Timothy. Because in this journey of joy and hardship, we need each other to stay the course and live a life of faithfulness.

The Core Values of an Entrusted Leader: a HEART willing to do all God asks; a MISSION for leading characterized by a commitment to multiplying followers of Jesus Christ that supersedes all other endeavors; an APPROACH to leadership characterized by denial of self and serving others; the STABILITY for leading created by applying a balance of skills, character, and compassion; a LIFESTYLE that is beyond reproach and publicly demonstrates faith, hope, and love; the FORTITUDE for leading built on faith in the love and sovereignty of God and the discipline of prayer; a WORLDVIEW founded on absolute truth and the words of Jesus Christ. Entrusted Leaders are people of vision who faithfully serve the investment God has ¿entrusted¿ to them by using skills, character, and compassion to encourage others toward a common goal while upholding rock solid core values. In The Entrusted Leader, learn how to live these core values through the teachings of Dr. L. Hollis Jones and the power of God¿s Word.

Leader's Guide for the Outreach track of Gospel Shaped Church from The Gospel Coalition, exploring what it means to be a community focused on mission. Gospel Shaped Church is a curriculum from The Gospel Coalition that will help whole congregations pause and think carefully and prayerfully about the kind of church they are called to be. This nine-week whole-church resource will help members see both the priority of evangelism for our churches, and to see the role that everyone can play in reaching out to those who are lost without Christ. The Leader's Guide contains everything you need to lead this flexible course. Many Christians are nervous about telling someone else about Jesus. We prefer to leave it up to the preacher, or to those we see as particularly gifted for evangelism in our congregations. But all believers are called to make disciples. The nine sessions in this curriculum don't offer quick fixes or evangelism "gimmicks". But by continually pointing us back to the gospel, they will give us the proper motivation to work together as a church to share the gospel message with those who are lost without Christ. This flexible resource will train your whole church through teaching, preaching, daily reading and small-group Bible study and discussion-or any combination of those elements. The overall aim is that your church will embark on a journey to discover the kind of people they should be as they are shaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Works alongside the Gospel Shaped Outreach DVD and the Gospel Shaped Outreach Handbook for use by church members.
