Good Questions for Leadership

Have we prayerfully listened for the voice of the Good Shepherd, discerned what God was doing and guided our church body where its Head, our Lord Jesus Christ, led us?

Have we served others by doing good? Have we proclaimed the gospel, fulfilling the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment?

Have we obeyed the Scriptures, by giving correction to those who have gone astray?

Have we built unity for important steps of faith, asking for church-wide prayer and feedback?

Have we tried to squelch gossip, and instead encouraged the disgruntled to talk to the right person in the right spirit?

Have we dealt fairly with conflict and tried to bring about biblical reconciliation?

Have we stayed active—personally and as a body—in sharing our faith, making disciples and developing leaders? Have we encouraged all of our people to use their unique spiritual gifts?

Have we faithfully taught the word and truth of God, including those testimonies which we as believers have been called to share?
