In an increasingly divided world, how can the church display a unified culture that is worthy of the cause of Jesus?
As we continue in our series through 1 Thessalonians, Paul offers the church a framework for unity: servant leaders and supportive followers. We are excited to be led through this 1 Thessalonians passage by Jacob Harkey.
Key Takeaway
We want to display peace and unity by admonishing, honoring, and respecting our leadership, ultimately glorifying God.
- Recognize and respect the legitimacy of your leaders.
- Leadership isn't lording over people, it's laboring among them.
- Leadership is a heavy responsibility as leaders to account to God.
- Leadership requires you to call people out and up to help them thrive.
- Esteem your leaders highly. Show leadership that they're honored by going above and beyond and be generous with respect out of love and care for them.

"We don't have a five-step plan for you but we have a kind and humble and loving servant who came for us."
