The Need For Followership

“We need better leadership!”  Have you ever said that?  Perhaps you were frustrated with the direction being taken by some elected official or by management at your workplace or by the coach of your favorite team.  You were frustrated because you know that no matter how many resources an organization has, it will flounder if leaders do not lead well:  providing direction, training, motivation, coordination, encouragement, and even grace.  Leadership is extremely important.  And so, there are times we lament, “We need better leadership!”

Jesus Christ is the leader of our congregation, our home, our lives.  And his leadership is perfect in every way.  Therefore, when things are amiss in any of those arenas, what is needed is not better leadership, but better followership.  In this series, we ask Christ to empower us with his Spirit so that we might better serve our God and neighbor.  Our worship follows this path.
