As a young man I remember thirsting for the influence of men and
women of God in my life to walk with me as I learned to walk with the Lord.
Over the years I’ve been blessed to grow as a leader and as a follower of
Christ due to the influence of countless men and women of God who have spoken
into my life.
Scripture is filled with accounts of incredible men and women of
God who help to shape what it truly means to be a leader for the kingdom of
God. Often this model of leadership seems to be upside down and
counter-intuitive from the leadership we often see in our world today.
Join us this weekend as we look together at the life of one of Israel’s two
greatest kings. As a community we will look at the life of King Josiah in 2
Kings 22-23:3 and learn from a leader fully committed to serving the Lord.
Regardless of whether you identify yourself as a leader or not, we are all
people of influence for the kingdom of God and we each have something we can
learn from this great king.
Josiah is known as the great reformer in part because his leadership helped
draw the people of Israel back into the arms of the Lord. He redefined
leadership from a posture of repentance and humility. Join us this weekend as
we once again come before the Lord with open hands and proclaim loudly
together, “Lord, I need you.”
