This post on 'Biblical Leadership' ties in nicely with a sermon that I listened to today, although the sermon was not specifically on the topic of leadership. It was originally preached by John Piper (Pastor for preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota) on September 20, 1998. The title of the sermon is "Measures of Faith, Gifts of Grace, Ministry in Small Groups." The main text for the sermon is Romans 12:1-8. Nate's list item "We are all mandated to teach and influence others" is particularly highlighted in the sermon. Read the sermon here. It is also downloadable in mp3 format.
