Mark 10:32-45
Keys Points:
In Student Leadership development:
1) Leadership is modeled
John Maxwell- levels breakdown
You must show expectations and guidelines
Train youth leaders to build up stronger students
2) Revelation is personalized
Cast the vision ina smaller setting of a youth group breakdown
Student leaders should meet early to prayer meetings
Develop a leadership team
If anyone else comes they develop themselves into leaders
Announce things to the group but also discuss individually with leaders.
3) Destiny is clarified
4) Relationships are purified
Instill a servant's heart in them. Ask them to do things for others.
Ex. Pick up after another, or help move something for someone else.
* Proverbs 27:17
"Iron sharpens Iron"
- People have to be close enough.
- Iron has to touch to sharpen iron
It doesn't happen over night.
- He's been there for 13 years.
Don't be afraid to re-invent
- You will have to do so.

· What are your motivations? Why do I preach? What is your purpose?
o Sometimes our motives aren’t pure. We want to “just get through it” or have people shout, etc.
· Before you analyze and figure out “how” you preach, you need to discover “why” you preach.
· PREACH MESSAGES THAT CHANGE LIVES
· Challenges to Preaching:
o What we’ve learned (styles, formats)
o What we’ve NOT been taught
§ Sometimes we feel inadequate because of our lack of education
o What we’ve seen
§ Televangelists
§ Hype-man (Flava-Flav)
§ Monotone (Ben Stein)
o What we’ve not seen
§ Sometimes we’ve not seen authentic, genuine communicaton
o What we feel and what we want
§ Do you want you ego boosted?
o What we don’t feel
§ Depression
§ If you are not convinced in your message, no one else will
· You have to believe what you are sharing
· Sometimes we try to feed to much information to quickly.
o We need more focus in our preaching, and preach for the long haul
· Why did God call us to preach?
o Luke 4.18-19
§ Jesus was all about meeting people’s needs
· ***We need to preach to meet people’s needs
o Matthew 7.28, 22.33; Mark 11.18, 12.37; Luke 4.22
§ It’s ok for people to be delighted in what you are saying
· What is the best method for preaching for life change:
§ (Communicating for Change by Andy Stanley)
o Inspiration
o Motivation
o Application
o Transformation
§ Effective preaching begins with caring more for the people in the audience than the person standing in the pulpit
· Questions to ask:
o What is the goal?
§ To teach people how to live a life that reflects the values, principles, and truths of the Bible
§ Don’t preach for the response around the altar
o Pick a point (ONE POINT!)
§ *Book: What’s the Big Idea
§ What do I want people to Know, Feel, Do?
o Create a map
§ MEYOUGODYOUWE
· Start with Yourself
· Move to the crowd
· Focus on God (What does God say about it)
· Apply it to them
· As a group, how can we do this
o Internalize the Message
§ Own what you preach; be passionate about it
o Engage your audience
§ How you say something is just as important as what you say
· Presentation matters (details for the Temple)
o Be sure to address the felt needs in your audience
§ If you don’t, then the info you are sharing will be perceived as irrelevant.
§ Use visuals, stories, humor, etc.
o Find your voice
§ I can’t be _____________. I am who I am.
§ You HAVE TO be you!
· Evaluation:
o Self-evaluation
o External evaluation
o Are we accomplishing what God desires?
§ If not, how do we move to that?
· Always live what you preach
