 Saul was a man who did not understand the Gospel of Jesus, and persecuted Christians.  On the Road to Damascus, he was blinded and was spoken to by the Lord.  Ananias gave Saul his sight back as the Lord directed him to, and Paul was told he would be the Lord’s instrument to the gentiles.

Paul’s “overseeing” role of the Churches established  13 books of the New Testament are credited to Paul.  On his journeys, Paul usually had traveling companions to the cities. Would stay there for a time and preach in synagogues or meeting places, even open public areas.  Would appoint certain people within the churches to be Pastors.  Included correction of false teachings (Gnosticism, philosophically misguided, and those emphasizing observance of Old Testament rituals).

Opposition to Paul’s Mission Opposition to Paul’s Mission  Any time Paul’s travel plans were interrupted, he thought it the work of Satan. Jealous JewsSilversmithsSlave ownersFalse brothers within the church

Reinterpretation of Hebrew Scripture Conversion of Gentiles Economy concerns Debate on resurrection of the dead

Spiritual Leadership Qualities  Above Reproach  Monogamous  Moderate in all things  Worthy of Respect  Prayerful  Preaches Sound Doctrine  Graciously Hospitable  Gifted-Teacher  Even-Tempered  Good Reputation in and outside of the Church  Humble  Speaks the Truth plainly and clearly  Not greedy  Promotes Peace  Corrects false teachings  Manages Household well  In Right Relationships  Holiness/Upholds Truth in their life  Trusts God  Loves Neighbor  Utilizes Gifts in a way that Honors God

Effective World Leadership Principles  In today’s workforce, leadership includes the following:  Knowing your goals and what you need to do to attain them  Organize and manage time for short-term/long-tern projects  Identify strengths in others and help them develop their skills.  Promote teamwork and extra training  Hold people accountable for completing their tasks  Reinforce ideas central to the company  Systematically checks the process of work getting done.

“ ” That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Hebrews 6:12. New King James Version Paul was an example of someone who worked hard in the vocation of Ministry and tent-making and was able to take the Gospel where it hadn’t been preached before.

SO WHAT DO WE LEARN? We are to be…. Communally involved in spreading the Gospel Growing Spiritually: becoming leaders Mindful of God’s active Word in our life and in others We learn that Following Jesus and being a servant of the Lord entails difficulties in a person’s life. What Jesus did and how much he suffered and endured for us should give us hope that we do not grow weary. He is our Strength.
