During a worship service, group meeting or a personal conversation someone brings to your attention a need for which they want prayer. Here are some things I would like you to know.

A grounding look at how God uses organized, detail-oriented people to bring order, structure, and forward movement to the church’s mission. Rather than being a “mere task,” administration is presented as a Spirit-empowered gift that helps ministries flourish.

Drawing from God’s pattern of calling leaders, this message shows how His direction often requires a reordering of our location, our spiritual condition, and our priorities. Accepting God’s call touches time, talents, and resources, and often presses against personal comfort. True leadership begins with surrendering to God’s rearranging work so His purposes can take root.

This session explores the core character of a biblical leader and the posture needed to carry influence well. Through Scripture and practical insight, the teaching highlights humility, repentance, dependence on the Holy Spirit, and a willingness to be formed by God before being used by Him. Leadership is framed not as position, but as the overflow of a life shaped by Christ.

This session explains the foundational role apostles and prophets play in establishing healthy churches. Their gifts help set direction, guard doctrine, strengthen unity, and create environments where the rest of the ministry gifts can function as God intended.

Here the focus turns to how apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers work together to equip the church. Each gift contributes something distinct, and the church matures when all are present, recognized, and allowed to function as Christ designed.

This session highlights the pastoral and teaching gifts, showing how they build stability, clarity, and care within the church. Shepherds nurture and guide people through life, while teachers ground the community in truth so it can grow with confidence.

This session brings the series together by showing how every believer has a part in the work of ministry. When leaders equip the church and people step into their God-given roles, the whole body grows stronger, healthier, and more effective in fulfilling Christ’s mission.

Explore how Scripture frames leadership as a calling rooted in character, service, and Spirit-empowered gifting.

An an apostolic-prophetic model of church leadership built on organic life, servant-hearted character, and New Testament patterns.

A practical framework for church leaders who want to invest in people, develop high-capacity teams, and form sons and daughters in the faith who can carry ministry further than the previous generation.

Hebrews 13 gathers the book’s major themes into practical direction: love, hospitality, sexual integrity, contentment, honouring leaders, sacrificial praise, and life together under the New Covenant. The closing benediction roots all of it in the God of peace, who equips His people for every good work.

A walk through the Old Testament that reveals the Holy Spirit not as a New Testament afterthought but as an active, personal presence from the opening lines of Scripture. The message traces how the Spirit empowered leaders, guided nations, stirred prophets, brought victory, and breathed life into God’s people long before Pentecost. Listeners begin to see the Spirit’s consistency, creativity, and compassion across the story of Israel, and discover that the One who hovered over the waters is the same One who strengthens believers today.

A practical guide for navigating the challenges and opportunities of change in a local church. Why change is both constant and costly, and why wise leadership must help people move from “where we are” to “where we could be.” Drawing from organizational life cycles, congregational dynamics, and biblical wisdom, it explores how different types of people respond to change, how trust shapes every decision, and how leaders can communicate with clarity, patience, and courage. Listeners are equipped to test the waters, listen to resistors, work with opinion leaders, avoid common leadership pitfalls, and guide congregations at a pace they can bear. At its heart, the message calls leaders to help their people see the value of the “pearl of great price,” recognizing that while change requires sacrifice, the fruit of God-directed transformation is worth it.

A clear, practical framework for developing and multiplying leaders in the local church. Drawing from Scripture and real ministry experience, it outlines why teams matter, what qualities to look for in emerging leaders, and how to cultivate character, skill, and spiritual maturity. The framework provides tools for mentoring, apprenticeship, coaching conversations, and “just in time” training, helping leaders grow through real responsibility rather than theory alone.
