Questions:

  • What are the marks of a good leader?
  • What are the marks of good leadership?
  • How are we to respond to bad leaders and/or bad leadership?
  • Consider the following lyrics: “People of God, rise up and shine God’s love.  We are the light of the world.”  …How do these words relate to leadership?

Song: “People of God” – Gungor

We could have tongues of angels; We could move mountains with our faith; We could give everything away, but if we don’t have love we’re left with nothing.

We could see blind eyes opened, know all the mysteries of our faith.  We could sing all the highest praise but if we don’t have love, we’re left with nothing.

People of God, Rise up.  Rise up and shine God’s love.  We are the light of the world.

Love is what holds it all together.  Love never fails, it never dies.  There is no deeper truth.  We know that God is love, our God is love.  Tear down the walls that divide us; Let love rebuild and unite us.  All we need is love.
