The Bible has a lot to say about leadership. After celebrating the Fourth of July in an election year, it’s good for us to hear God’s advice for choosing a leader 3,500 years ago. God’s qualifications for a king are so different than what we see around us today: Not proud. Not lustful. Not greedy. Dedicated to God’s Word. A servant of all. That’s the right king! Wouldn’t it be great to have a leader like that? We do! It’s Jesus. “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). No matter what happens this year or in this election, we already have the right King: Jesus! He’s the King you’re longing for. I hope you can listen to this sermon about godly leadership: “The Right King.” Jesus loves you!
