On Servant Leadership

Care for the flock that God has entrusted to you. Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example. (1 Pet 5:2–3) (1 Peter 5:2–3)

When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. (Rom 12:13) (Romans 12:13)

Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them.

If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’ Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. (1 John 4:7–11) (1 John 4:7–11)

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. (1 Cor 13:1–3) (1 Corinthians 13:1–3)
