Reading: The Equipping Leader Notes
The Equipping Leader Notes: Remember that the goal is reproduction. Train them to stand on their own rather than be dependent on you.
Apply Paul’s charge to Timothy (2 Tim 2:2)
- Your job isn’t done until they become disciple makers
- Focus your time and effort on the “reliable” ones
Give them responsibility, not just tasks
- Allow them to become spiritual parents.
- Guide them rather than doing things for them.
Be a good student, so you can be a good teacher.
- Never stop learning (2 Timothy 2:15)
- Ephesians 4:11-16- Learn from those God has gifted
Equip and release every member to minister (1 Cor 12).
- See every part as CRITICAL 1 Cor 12: 23-25
- Don’t overvalue the most gifted
- Teach them to be givers rather than consumers- vs 7
