Truly Epic...Jesus Christ and the power of an indestructible life

No fear - Remember your leaders

Todd Dugard

Hebrews 13:7-17

As leaders in the church of Jesus Christ, we must remember to…

…live with integrity because the people are imitating our faith (v7)

…teach the Bible accurately because the people are listening to our words (v8-16)

…lead with humility because the people are putting themselves under our leadership (v17)

And, by the way, we have to give account to God for all this.
