A sermon on three biblical models of leadership: the child king who embraces his role, the slave king driven by revenge and ostentatious displays of wealth, and the unaware king. The speaker argues the slave-king model is most destructive, citing leaders who buy Rolls-Royces with public funds and fail to build lasting legacies. For the church to transform the world, it must reject disorderliness and the corrupt patterns of slave-kings.
Chapters
There are 3 possibilities of leadership that the Bible mentioned. Number 1, when the king is a child, he embraces fully. Number 2, when the king is a slave, woe to the land. Number 3, a king who doesn't know that he's king. A man who comes to honor but knows it not, says, like a beast that perish. The worst of them all is when the king is a slave. When the king is a slave, the first thing he goes for is revenge. I have suffered enough, I have been ignored. Now the whole world will notice me. I will have entourage that is too much so you can know I'm powerful. Slavery. You see public officers even buy Rolls-Royce and they are making videos showing their garage. But it's public fund. There are wealthy slaves, and if you have been conditioned to be a slave long enough, if you embrace power, you face revenge. I've faced lack, it's time to have too much. Slaves don't leave legacies. If God is always going to use the church to change our world, then the church must learn to recondition. The church cannot be the place of disorderliness.
