    Session 1
    Biblical Principles

    PROFESSOR MARK M. CANCEL, M. DIV


    SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP CE-103O
    SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SEMINARY
    Six Biblical Principles (Rardin)

    Assumption of Principles
     God has seen fit to reveal His word to us.
     Principles for living are found in His Word.
     The principles are knowable because God took the initiative to
    make them known.
     All truth is God’s truth. Without revelation we would not have
    been able to discover these truths on our own.
     Leadership principles for God’s people must be based on these
    principles.
    Six Biblical Principles

    1. God is the author of authority.


    2. Leadership is a partnership.
    3. The first shall be last.
    4. Leadership is from the inside out.
    5. Leadership is a spiritual gift.
    6. The sheep belong to the Lord.
    Theoretical Framework for Analysis

    Consists of four dimensions.


    REMEMBER: Internal beliefs determine external
    behavior [Principle 4]
    Internal Beliefs

    Dimension #1: Mental Model of Leadership


     The cognitive understanding of leadership as reflected in the
    Old and New Testament
     The picture one holds in their minds of the leader’s role.
     The “Head” component of ones leadership philosophy
     Examples: the leader as a hero, coach, facilitator, defender

    Rehoboam [1 Kings 12:1-15] who did not heed the advice of the
    elders and to be a servant to the people.
    Disciples [Luke 22:24-27] some lord positions over others (that
    is the way they see themselves) , some serve others despite
    their position.
    Dimensions Continued

    Dimensions #2: Heart Motive


     The inordinate, life-ruling desires or longings that are deeply
    rooted in our hearts; the things that pilot and project us.
     The “Heart” component of one leadership philosophy.

     Anything or person that functions in the place of God in our


    lives, controlling our thoughts or deepest longings.
     Examples: being in control of our life, finding security in
    someone or something else, self-worth based on our beauty,
    intellect, status, material possessions, etc.
    Saul [1 Sam 13:5-7, 11-14] disobeyed the Word of God; acted out of
    fear;
    Rich Young Ruler [Luke 18:18-23] wealth was more important to
    him than anything else and controlled his every decision.
    External Behavior

    Dimensions #3: Manner of Treating Others


     The manner in which leaders treat followers. Relationships
     The “Hands” component of ones leadership philosophy.
     Completes the statement, “Treats others as if they were…
     Manner reflects how they use their power in the lives of others.
     Examples: Treating others as if they were: implementers of
    ideas, as assets assigned to us, as unintelligent, capable of
    creative solutions, key to effective ministry, experts in their
    fields, uniquely gifted, etc.

    John 13:34 Love one another


    John 15:14-15 Partners in the task
    Dimensions Continued

    Dimension #4: Methods of Leadership


     The procedures, routines, process or systems that leaders use.
     The “Habits” in ones leadership philosophy
     Includes both tactical and strategic process

    Examples:

    Moses [Exodus 18:13-27] implements the procedure of


    delegation and he teaches them how to do it.
    Haman [Esther 3:7-15] with an evil motive he creates an evil plot
    to destroy one person (Mordecai) by destroying all the Jews.
    Significant Impact of this Method

    Helps establish a practical theology of leadership.


    Helps study the leadership philosophies of biblical
    leaders.
    Helps to create your own leadership philosophy
    Helps to summarize your leader culture.
