Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 07/07/24 by Pastor Steve Shields.

Respect is a key to healthy ministry. Leaders must respect those they lead.

Respect means we recognize their service. Acknowledge everyone’s hard work. Recognize that spiritual leaders carry burdens that others do not understand. Hold spiritual leaders in high esteem with loving regard.

Respect means to prioritize peace. Keep the main thing the main thing. Keep the good news of Christ central in all you do. Contribute to a nurturing atmosphere.

Respect means to personalize application. Focus on God’s goodness. Make it personal. Look for God to speak to you. Yield to God’s transformative presence.
