The Kind of Leaders We Need

The Kind of Leaders We Need

Acts 20:17–38

What does faithful leadership in the church really look like? In this powerful message from Acts 20, we explore the Apostle Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders—a moment marked not by spotlight or strategy, but by presence, tears, and sacrifice. Drawing from Paul’s example, this sermon challenges our cultural expectations of leadership and redefines it through the lens of the Gospel. Discover how spiritual leadership is less about platform and polish, and more about presence, perseverance, and pointing people to Jesus. Whether you're currently leading or discerning a call to lead, this message will inspire you to pursue Christ-shaped leadership rooted in grace and faithfulness.
