Spiritual Leadership

Wait... Wait... Wait... I don't plan to be as LLLOOONNNGGG as on yesterday. Just wanted to seek your prayers for a "season" that I currently find myself in. About two weeks ago, we (The Ship) were meeting about a prospective "vision plan" for the church. It was at such time that I was challenged, so to speak, on the leadership structure. More specifically, why I had not yet appointed Deacons during my tenure as Pastor. In an attempt to not get so thoroughly sidetracked, even though we still did, I gave what I earnestly believe was a transparent, sprit-led, biblically sound response. We then managed to make our way to the REAL issue at hand. (It still took a while)

Now... Tonight I plan to begin a four-part teaching series on "Spiritual Leadership in the Body of Christ." The central bible focus will be Paul's first letter to Timothy. So, I ask your prayers as I try to spiritually discern what the Lord would have us to learn/gleen from this instructional time.
