1 – Today’s competition will require a tremendous amount of leadership for us to be victorious.  It will require a unique type of leadership.

2 – This kind of leadership is best described in Mark 10:42-45 (read the text aloud).

• This is not the usual kind of leadership – it’s not about power or position.
• To be a great leader – make those close to you better.
  • Communicate well
  • Lead your unit
• To be the best leaders – make your whole team better.
  • Even those who annoy you
  • Even those outside your responsibility
  • Even the coaches
• To be a Christ-like leader – sacrifice for the team’s greatest good.
  • Sacrifice playing time to further a younger player’s development
  • Play through pain
  • Submit to the game plan
  • Press through difficult situations
  • Free your teammates to become all they were created to be

3 – Lead strongly today

• Be great leaders
• Be the best leaders
• Be Christ-like leaders
