Series Relevance: In the United States of America today, people complain about corruption in politics, law enforcement, and corporations. It is easy to pick out the poor leaders, and it seems like the good ones are few and far between. What does it take for someone to be a good leader in these fields? What sort of training is required? Are our leaders the result of what has been taught (or not taught)? It is important to remember that the world's idea of what makes a good leader may not mirror what God says.

Series Challenge: As we go through this series we would like to pose this challenge: spend some time studying some of the Biblicall leaders. Read their stories. Make notes. Model the good leaders, aspire to be the best us we can be.
