6 Leadership Lessons From Acts 9
I was reading through Acts a few days ago and came to Acts 9. We often view this chapter as the conversion of Saul, but it has a lot more than just one event.
Here are some leadership lessons I jotted down as I was reading…
1. Significant impact is often made by ordinary people with extraordinary potential – Look for future leaders (Acts 9:3)
2. Never let what seems to be interfere with what can be. – Trust God (Acts 9:13 & 17)
3. When God calls you to serve, don’t attempt to command. – Serve gladly (Acts 9: 17)
4. When God calls, don’t hesitate. – Follow God (Acts 9: 20)
5. Allow people to help you. – Show humility (Acts 9:25)
6. Remember that persecution often brings growth – Use it (Acts 9:31)

At least it was something good!
A good word so early in the morning! Enjoy your weekend, Jonathan!

Leaders really are readers. Anointed words of God. what a blessing!
Very true.
Jonathan, that’s a really good word man.
“Look for future leaders.”
I learned early on in ministry that this is a main key to growth. Especially in college ministry where your group is completely different every 4 years. We just brought a young man up in leadership this semester that I saw potential in last year and told the leaders to start working on him. They didn’t see it then, but he’s been a welcome addition to our team.
Great stuff man!
Loving number 2 bro’…awesome!
