Sketch 12 Motivation for Discipleship	Sketches of Leadership. Mark 8:34-38, Mark 10:28-31, Mark 10:41-45. The paradox promises in the gospel: If you want life, lose it. If you want security, leave it. If you want to be great, become a servant. Jesus did all these things, and he calls us to the life he lived, for the same reasons. We are created to want these things. Ministry is the life-losing, security-leaving, servant-path-following way to receive from God the things we deeply desire, in a paradoxical life of faith. (more info) by Rich Lamb

Sketch 13 Why Did Jesus Go to the Cross	Sketches of Leadership. Mark 10:41-45, Hebrews 12:1-2, Philippians 2:1-11. A look at three passages that give interlocking answers to the question asked: Jesus died as a ransom for many, for the joy set before him, to the glory of God the father. All three passages emphasize that we are to have the same attitude he did. An invitation into a costly discipleship. (more info) by Rich Lamb

Sketch 15 Ambition and the Kingdom	Matthew 6:31-33, Mark 10:41-45, Luke 14:7-11; 1 Tim 3:1; James 3:13-16. Looks at several brief NT passages that deal with or illustrate positive and negative examples of ambition. Contrasts worldly and godly ambition, defining each and giving lots of brief case examples to illustrate the differences. Frees Christian students who often recognize their own ambition only to feel guilty about it. Jesus doesnt ask us to deny our ambition, but to pursue it through service! (more info) by Rich Lamb

Sketch 16 The Leadership of Aaron and Moses	Exodus 32:1-29.

Sketch 17 The Authentic Jesus	Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 10:42-45. Looks at a surprising reception for Jesus as he enters Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, and contrasts typical misconceptions or caricatures of Jesus with the authentic picture of a gentle, capable servant. Do the students on our campuses get a chance to be challenged by the authentic Jesus through our depiction of him? When have we seen a (godly) commotion stirred up by the actions of JesusÂ followers on our campus? (more info) by Al Norby

Sketch 18 The Leader and Burnout	1 Kings 19:1-18. It seems odd that after Elijahs great power encounter on Mt. Carmel he has a depression that takes him to Mt. Horeb. After a great victory he was burdened to the point of burnout. This study shows Gods gentle but firm prescription for Elijah to return from burnout through a renewed call to ministry and the gift of ministry partnership. Elijah is not, as he fears, alone!
