Exodus Chapter 32 1 A contrast of two kinds of leadership 2 CHALLENGE — God wants to build up a community where everyone leads using their influence for God 1 2 A contrast of two kinds of leadership Moses & Aaron

Effective Leadership A Effective Leaders Champion Core Values • Moses led people to God • Aaron just led people • Great leaders discern pivotal moments

Effective Leadership B Effective Leaders Embrace Responsibility • Moses breaks the tablets and burns the golden calf — then Moses confronts Aaron • Do you embrace responsibility or do you evade responsibility? • How much do you allow God to use you?

Effective Leadership C Effective Leaders Make Huge Personal Sacrifices for Those They Lead • Moses has a heart for his people and asks God to take his life instead of blotting out the lives of the sinful Israelites • Moses is a picture of Jesus Christ, who came for undeserving people • Moses says that he will lay it all down for them

Effective Leadership Two Questions… • What if Aaron would have assumed the mantle of leadership? • What would have happened if Moses would not have led? People’s lives and destinies hang in the balance Let us be like Moses and lay our lives down for others
