Lords or Servants - Synopsis
Lords or Servants is a fresh look at the Biblical model for church organization. Understanding how to provide leadership and guidance through service, rather than authority, is key to solving many of the problems facing the modern church.
Discover the difference between what was required of leaders in the first-century church and those of today. Learn the significant role miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit played in first century church leadership.
What is the role of elders and deacons today, how are they chosen, and what are their responsibilities, are they still appointed by the Holy Spirit with miraculous gifts?
This book explains, from Scripture, God’s model for leadership, how it applied during the infancy period of the church and how it applies in the present-day church. This should be required reading for everyone who aspires to leadership in the Kingdom of God.
