Think Like a Leader

Acting like a servant while thinking like a leader is the foundation of kingdom leadership. Pastor Lee Jenkins teaches from Luke 22 to show how Jesus redefined greatness through humility, service, and influence. This message challenges believers to embrace leadership not through titles, but through towels—serving others with Christlike humility.

Verses:

Luke 22:24–27, Luke 22:26, John 13, James 4:10, 1 Peter 5:3

Key Points/Topics Covered:

• Everyone is called to lead someone
• Jesus redefines leadership through servant-hearted humility
• Worldly leadership is title-driven; kingdom leadership is towel-driven
• True greatness is found in serving others, not being served
• Four marks of Christlike leadership: don’t lord over, be humble, serve, and be like Jesus
