‘Good Responses To Our Church Leaders.’
2 Corinthians 10:7-12.
a) 2 Corinthians 10:7. We should not just look on the surface, that they are leaders. Rather we should realise that they are on the same “side” as us – they too belong to Jesus.
b) 2 Corinthians 10:8. The authority that the Lord has given our leaders is to build us up spiritually.
c) 2 Corinthians 10:9. We are to reject any intimidation and control through fear from Church leaders. If that is their “style” we are better off in another Church.
d) 2 Corinthians 10:10. We should accept their style of personality in leadership.
e) 2 Corinthians 10:11. We can expect consistency in our Church leaders.
f) 2 Corinthians 10:12. We should not compare ourselves with other Believers, neither should we compare our leaders with other leaders.

‘The Lord Our Teacher.’
Micah 4:2-3.
a) He loves multi ethnic environments and Churches.
b) He teaches us at Worship Service in His House.
c) He teaches us how to live in ways that please Him.
d) He teaches us that we may teach other people.
e) He establishes Justice.
f) He gives Peace.
(This Second one clearly shows me The Lord My Teacher)

Chris.
The True Church and its ministers belong to Jesus. As True Believers we should never forget this fact. God ordained Church leaders are reminded by the Lord to lead well and honestly, they are also to be diligent in their leadership. True Believers should be able to pray for and respect their Church leaders.
