Overview:

Part 1: Christ’s Representatives (Chapters 1-7)

Paradox: Exaltation through suffering.

Part 2: Forgotten Generosity (Chapters 8-9)

Paradox: Gaining by giving.

Part 3: Godly Leadership (Ch. 10-13)

Paradox: Strength through weakness

The leadership platform is a powerful position that is easily misused.

Christ’s example of leadership strength is the complete opposite of a picture of a powerful leader.

REMEMBER: Simplicity by choice not by limitation.

KEY: Authority comes with accountability.

The more humility, the more vulnerability, the more honesty, the more Godly you live, “… all those who live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”
