  1. MANDATE& METHODS

  2. Mandate & Methods • Our mandate as Christians: Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

  3. Mandate & Methods • Our mandate as Christians: Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

  4. Mandate & Methods • Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

  5. Mandate & Methods • As Christians, our faith is missional and global faith. • Our leadership should be a missional, global leadership. • Leadership = influence • We are to be people of influence to the whole world, ultimately pointing them to Jesus Christ.

  6. Mandate & Methods • This mandate does not change. • However, the methodswill change. • The Bible is full of examples of missional contextualization: changing the methods to fit the particular cultural context. • Servant leadership demands that we discover what methods will best serve & reach followers in their context.

  7. Mandate & Methods • We can sometimes “baptize” methodology, sometimes even at the expense of the mandate (or it takes a back seat). • My prayer is that this course will help you understand how to contextualize methodology without sacrificing or short-changing our mandate.

  8. Mandate & Methods • The first discussion this week will explore intentional servanthood; the second will challenge you to develop a biblical framework (mandate) to filter contemporary leadership issues (method).
