This weekend we studied 3 John – Church Politics. John had his hands full in dealing with the leaders of the early church. Leading leaders is kind of like herding cats. Leaders don’t want to be led. Problems are inevitable. In the absence of a clearly respected leader, like John, everyone does what is right in his own eyes.

John dealt with this leadership problem in the way he taught: Love. He graciously endorsed the candidate he favored, and did it through a leader respected by all. He got the job done by hook or by crook.

How do you evaluate the service this weekend? Were we on target?
