Gifted Part 14: Encouraging & Leading With Passion (Romans 12:8)

Leadership matters. Words matter. Our gifts matter. The gifts God has given us are meant to be used, so if God has given a gift of leadership or encouragement He wants those gifts to be used for the good and growth of His kingdom. Jesus leads through example, being a protector, guardian, and aid to those He is leading. Through His kindness, comfort, and counsel, He also encourages many to take positive steps. "Come follow me," (Matthew 4:19) is an invitation to model Jesus' leadership and encouragement as we imitate Him in the way we serve one another and the world around us.
