 I just want to read from Isaiah 66 and a couple of verses there, maybe verse 2 verses. It says, Thus says the Lord, Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool. Where is the house that you will build for me? Where is the house that you will build me? And where is the place of my rest? For all those things my hand has made and all those things exist, says the Lord. And finally he says, But on this one will I look on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit and who trembles at my word. So as we read these scriptures, the Lord is just explaining about physical structure, what we as human beings see on the outside, maybe a big place and he's just contrasting and especially in the light of what is happening, what was happening yesterday and what is happening in our country. The Lord is saying, Heaven is my throne, I'm beyond any physical structure. Where is the place that you will build me? Heaven is my throne, earth is my footstool. And he's saying, Where is the house? Where is the place of my rest? And he's saying, all the physical things, everything that you see, my hand creates all nature and everything I create. And the Lord is saying that on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, on that person will I look. So the Lord is, man looks at the big structures, grander structures, big monuments, etc. But the Lord is saying, Isaiah 66 was this one and two. The Lord is looking at the heart of the person. And it's like saying that I will inhabit the person who is of a contrite heart and one who trembles at my word. So for the Lord, this is what is precious. This is what is important, that he makes man his holy habitation. And thereby changing, transforming and making something beautiful of that person's life. And he's saying one who's humble, one who's of a contrite heart and contrite spirit and one who trembles at my word, one who reveres God's word, one who honors God's word to the point of literally awaiting and literally trembling at the word of God. So he's giving the priority, this is what is my priority or this is what is important, precious in my eyes. So may the Lord give us discernment in such ways that we will also consider the things that he considers, that we will also esteem as precious, what he esteems as precious, that we will not be swayed or moved by external things that contradict the word of God, that goes away from his point of view or his perspective. So let's pray. Father, we thank you for this day, Lord. We thank you, Lord, that you are awesome, you are greater, you are bigger, Lord, than anything that we could give credit for. We thank you that you are all-powerful, that you're all-knowing God. We bless your name, God. We acknowledge, oh God, that you are the Lord, the all-powerful one, all-knowing one and all-seeing God and nothing escapes your attention, God. And Lord, we thank you that you're so amazing and you're so great, so awesome and yet, Lord, you come down to us, Lord, you reach out to us, Father God and you are mindful of each one of us, oh God, and nothing, Lord, escapes your attention, oh God. Whatever things that we might be, Lord, experiencing, going through struggles, challenges, Lord, everything, God, you are aware and even as, Lord, you've said, oh God, this one, you will look, that you earn your attention, Lord, to each one of us, God. And so, we give you praise and maybe be found, oh God, be a people who honor you, Lord, who are humble in your presence, God and always and also, God, revering your word, oh God, that maybe be a people who tremble at your word, Master, maybe esteem your word higher than anything else, Father God, to hear it, to receive it and to obey God, carefully, God. We thank you, we come with ourselves into your mighty hands. In Jesus' name we pray, amen, amen. Okay, so we've been looking at the Lord Jesus as an example of leadership, right? So you've got the notes you've received, yeah? Okay, okay. So we looked at three things, right? Three of these points or four maybe, that as the Lord served, so must we be. So we're looking at all these things that the Lord showed us as an example so that we can learn and we can follow. Okay, so let's look at the fifth one. Okay, so that as a leader, this whole aspect of sacrifice. Okay, so the Lord Jesus as a leader, he was willing, ready and he also sacrificed himself, right? So that was an example for us to follow. Hebrews chapter 2 verse 10 says, For it was fitting for him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason he's not ashamed to call them brethren. Okay, so he says, just described that for whom are all things and by whom are all things and we know that he was before all things talking about Jesus that through him were all things made that was made. Hebrews 5 verse 7 says, Who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with vehement cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death and was heard because of his godly fear. Though he was a son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered and having been perfected, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him. So he talks about his earthly ministry or his walk on the earth and how he talks about the Garden of Gethsemane and he offered up prayers and supplications with vehement tears and cries but he submitted and he was willingly ready to let go of his own life and give his own life as a sacrifice and he suffered. So as a leader, this was something that he came prepared for the Lord. He knew that this was how it was going to be and so he did not deviate from that. He did not move away from that. So what does it mean to sacrifice? One aspect of sacrifice is to give up. That's something that we are familiar with. A sacrifice is something that belongs to you or something that is rightfully yours. It could be a material possession. It could be you have a right to it, a privilege or maybe it's something of a comfort, whatever. So you have a right to it. You have a right to, let's say, live in a certain way. You have the means to live a certain way but you willingly give that up for the sake of the life that you want to live. You willingly give it up for the sake of serving the others because you are a leader. You willingly give up. That's one aspect of sacrifice and the sacrifice which is tied to leadership. So it means maybe we can talk about it. What are some things that we might have to willingly give up to be a leader? You have a right to your time and privacy but then you give that up maybe a little bit because you want to serve others. Maybe you have a right to your rest maybe but sometimes you give up a part of it so that you can serve others. So you willingly give up certain things so that you can serve as a leader. Now the other aspect of sacrifice is also to take on. Now that is something that we may not have considered. Sacrifice is always like letting go. It's about death and giving up. But sacrifice also means that you willingly take up certain things. You maybe take up a responsibility. You take up a task. You take up some work because you are a leader. So we understand that leadership comes with that, comes with sacrifice. So as we are serving as leaders, calling as leaders, we might be called to sacrifice and give up certain things. So I'm just thinking in a small way maybe when some of you were leaders at the short-term Bible college. I'm sure you had to sacrifice certain things. You could not go on living your regular schedule or regular things. You might have wanted to sit and listen to this music or sit and listen to this message or I just want to sleep for some time. But you had to willingly let go of that because of the responsibility. In a small way, you had to let go or you had to take up some responsibilities. I need to get this done. I need to maybe in terms of purchases, in terms of whatever. Instructing people or looking after monitoring them, whatever. So you saw, you experienced that in a small way. So similarly, in Christian leadership, we see that this is part of being a leader to be able to sacrifice. So it should not come as a surprise because the Lord Jesus himself set an example for us that a sacrificial living is something that we are called for. See, the thing is there are different levels of sacrifice and depends on the call, whatever. So there's no point in us comparing. Anand comparing with Princeton saying, but his level of sacrifice is, I don't know, it's less or more. There's no point in comparing because when we compare, then it's pointless when we compare. For example, even if you look at believers worldwide, for some, especially those who are hearing some testimonies of those who are living in very difficult places like Afghanistan and so on, to be a believer, to be a witness for Christ. It's a high call. It involves a life of sacrifice to be able to worship, to be able to read the Word. It takes a lot. And there are some, even in our own churches, we hear as I'm saying that for them to come to church, it's a big sacrifice. It's a big thing because they're not allowed. They're not permitted. So they need to work out something. I know of some girls who are living in Mangalore who took up additional work so that they can get out of the house at an earlier time so that they can finish that work, either in the hospital where they were serving or where they finished that and then come or some course so that they could finish and so they could come to church after that and they could go. So for them, just attending church, being part of church itself was a big sacrifice. It was a big thing that they had to take on. Now for some others, that may not be the issue, but it could be something else. So it doesn't matter. We don't have to compare, but we just need to know that in our call, in our role and responsibility that the Lord has placed us as a leader, there will be sacrifice. So we don't have to oppose that. We don't have to be surprised by it, but we just need to understand that yes, the Lord set as an example for us to live a life of sacrifice as leaders. The next one is to be an example. Now as a leader, we are, in a sense, we are called to live our life itself to be a pattern for others to follow. The Lord Jesus set an example like we read about in John chapter 13, about the fact that he, in a way he just explained how he had come to serve and how the disciples ought to serve one another as leaders. And so he washed everybody's feet and he said, you need to do the same thing for I have given you an example. So that word example, it just means a pattern for others to follow, that others can observe, that others can learn about and others can follow. So he says, I have given you an example that you should do as I have done to you. So our life, as leaders, needs to be an example that others can follow. Because in our life, there will be instructions as leaders, there will be instructions, there will be certain things that we need to instruct, command, etc. But never forget that our life is an example for others to follow. Our values, our decisions, our lifestyle, the words we speak, the things that we do, how we live our life, it is an example for others to follow. So that doesn't mean that you always go around thinking, okay, now people are watching, people are watching, how do I live? Am I doing the right thing? No. The thing is that you change your life. It should just flow out. So it's not that I'm in fear or I'm being observed. So I need to behave in a certain way. I need to do a certain way. No. The thing is that let the life of Christ in you completely change, you transform you. We are aligning ourselves to the Word of God and we are led by the Spirit. So we are totally liberated and free to live this kind of life, aware, being aware that we are examples. Okay. So the Lord spoke about persecution and again he said that, you know, this will happen to you, right? If the world hated you, look 15, if the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. If you are of the world, the world will love its own yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you and so on. And he says, if they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also. And so the Lord was making it very clear, you know, even though people persecute, even though people reject, you continue to be an example. You continue to be a pattern of life that others can follow. And scripture also talks about, you know, the fact that when you live your life, that your life more than, you know, of course your words and everything, but your life will be an example so that those who persecute or those who accuse you will be put to shame, right? But your good works, they will be put to shame, okay? And the other words that we see is in where Paul writes Timothy and he says, maybe in 1 Timothy 4 and verse 12, like he writes about what are those areas in which you can be an example. 1 Timothy 4 verse 12, let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers. And he talks about all those areas in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity, okay? So in all these areas that we can be examples as leaders, okay? Right. Then the last one here is that as leaders, you know, we are called to trust the team or, you know, trust the core people whom you are leading, whom you are giving leadership to, right? The Lord Jesus again as an example, right? The Lord Jesus appointed, sent the twelve, he sent the seventy others, right? He appointed them, he sent them, okay? So he spent time with them, he taught them, he instructed them. These were people with whom he had conversations. These were people to whom he explained the parables, right? And they went, they did amazing things in his name. And so they came back, you know, we looked in 19, I think the Lord gives them the authority. They came back with good reports saying, Lord, at your name, you know, even the demons are subject. We saw that the demons just leave. So at your name, in your name, you know, they left and so on. So they recognize the power of Jesus' name. They used the name of Jesus as they prayed and commanded the evil spirits to leave. So they saw all that, that was the experience, right? Yet when it came to the Lord being persecuted, they all left, right? No one was around, they all left. And around the cross also, we see John, the mother of the Lord and a few others. But the others had actually left, okay? And we also read about Peter. Peter denied the Lord three times and vehemently and in ways that you would think, okay, maybe this man didn't even know the Lord, you know, the way he was vehemently denying and saying, I don't know Jesus, okay? But he had great potential, you know, Peter, the Lord is, you know, it's not there and then they're all sitting around and then they say, he says, you know, I'm going fishing. And everybody else says, okay, I will also come. Then they all go fishing, right? So he's still a great leader. But the fact is that the Lord forgave and restored and also gave him that responsibility, okay? So which is, I don't know, for the human reason and logic, it seems, you know, why would anyone do that? How can someone do that? How can someone entrust that huge responsibility of the Kingdom of God to such a person, right? But obviously the Lord saw beyond what anyone, any human being could see. He saw beyond their failings or limitations and he saw their heart, okay? Obviously the Lord saw that. And so we see something very courageous that he does. He forgives, he encourages and he restores, right? So this also we see as an example, okay? Which means that as we lead, there will be moments when, you know, maybe, you know, the kind of trust that we are placed on people is broken. So I want to ask, you know, is it easy building trust or rebuilding trust? It's difficult, right? Once trust is broken, you know, every time you are guessing, you know, is that person saying the right thing? Is that person saying because they want me to hear it? Will the person do it? They're saying they will do it, but will they actually do it, right? So you're always thinking about that. So trust, rebuilding trust especially takes a long time to rebuild, right? Bring it back and to heal and so on. But the Lord did that. The Lord did that. The Lord entrusted them. The Lord again gave back that responsibility. And let's, if you read John 21, you know, we see that, right? John 21 verse 15. So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonah, do you love me more than these? He said to him, yes Lord, you know that I love you. He said to him, feed my lambs. He said to him again a second time, Simon son of Jonah, do you love me? And he said to him, yes Lord, you know that I love you. He then said to him, tend my sheep. Now the third time, he said to him the third time, Simon son of Jonah, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, do you love me? And He said to Him, Lord, You know all things. You know that I love You. And Jesus said to Him, Feed my sheep. So we see this whole restoration of the task and the Lord encouraging Him and really His heart being reconciled and the Lord doing that. So as leaders, you know we will face this will be a reality. So for us to, and it will take a lot out of us, for us to trust the Lord, for us to draw on His strength, right? And for us personally to receive healing, wholeness and also to extend that forgiveness and trust to others. So that it will definitely be something that we will face and it's something that we need to do as leaders. So any questions? We looked at just three. Any questions here? Anything that you might want to add? Online students, anything? Nothing at all? Okay, so just wanted to add some things here. Regarding trust, the example of Peter stands for us in spite of who he was, Jesus chose and trusted, built him up. But they're not the case with Judas when we see others especially while building them up. When we face a situation, how do we see others when they break trust and move further in building them up just like the Lord? Okay, so if you see the difference, of course Judas was not around. He took his own life and that was it. So there was no opportunity to further restore or restore him. So we see that in Judas' life. So when we see others, when they break trust, your question is how do we see others and move further in building them up? Okay, so of course, it requires the response of the other person to whom we are extending trust, to whom we are trusting. So are they repentant and are they willing to work at their life? Which was the case with Peter. So the Lord asks him that question, do you love me? He says yes. And then the Lord says, okay, feed my sheep. And so it's a question of willingness on the other person's part. It's not that we cannot force ourselves to, or force that person into getting back to where they are. It's actually the other person's will, other person's decision and choice. So we extend forgiveness. We extend trust. But is the other person willing to receive that forgiveness? And it's the other person, by virtue of us extending the trust, is the other person willing to work at their lives in order to get back to living a trustworthy life. So that's the thing. So from our part, we extend what we need to extend. In the sense we love, we forgive, we honor. But we need to see that willingness in order to, let's say in terms of responsibility and task and so on, we need to see that willingness. And we need to see that effort to be able to entrust those tasks, entrust those projects or entrust whatever, you know, plus we want to rebuild. We need to be able to see that and then do it. Yeah. Hope that helps. I understand what you're saying. I think somebody's saying something. Sorry. I didn't get anything. Pastor, can you hear me now? Yeah. Yeah. So I understand what you're saying, Pastor, but while we pray for others, especially God has put a burden within us, maybe our relatives or our friends whom we have, who we are praying for. We are praying for their salvation and growth in the Lord. And we don't see that change in them, even in spite of maybe we'll advise them or counsel them as in how the Lord leads. So in our heart, should we keep on praying for them? Or is there a point in time that we give up on them? Okay, God, I'm not able to invest in their lives. Is there a point there or it's a personal thing, Pastor? So the example that we have is that, and the scripture also says that when it comes to saving our salvation or even transformation of life, that he's able to save to the uttermost, which means that because the Lord does not give up, we also don't. We don't give up on them or just write them off as, you know, this is a gone case. So we don't give up on them. We continue to pray for them that they will change. And of course, we know that it is their decision, it is their choice, but we can continue to uphold them in prayer. That's the least that we can do. And, you know, I know depending on our relationship with them in the sense like, you know, if it is a formal friendship, I mean, formal work kind of a relationship, or maybe it's a friendship kind of a, you know, relationship, or maybe it's a spouse, you know, these things differ, right? And so it becomes a little more difficult to keep on extending, and we need the grace of God for that, right? So that's a reality. But the fact is that we can continue to extend grace, we can continue to extend forgiveness. And you don't have to write people off. Yeah, that's okay. Okay, just a few comments on, you know, being as a servant, right, as a leader. And we need to understand it correctly because sometimes, you know, we, I don't know, this whole thing of serving, we sometimes do it to the point of really letting go of the role to which we have been called as a leader. So we need to do it right, you know, at the fourth point we saw that the Lord served, you know, He Himself said, I came to serve and not to be served unto, right, to receive this, you know, service or honor from man. So He came to serve. But at the same time, you would see His life in ministry that He went about doing what He was called to do, like He taught, He preached, He instructed. And then, you know, in some cases, you know, the disciples, He would tell them, He would rebuke them, He would correct them. He did all that, right. But in all this, He was serving. Okay, so which means that sometimes we think, okay, maybe you've been appointed as a leader, maybe a leader over a team or leader over an organization, or a particular organization, we have responsibilities. Then we think that, okay, if I need to serve, then I need to let go of this leadership, let go of this thing, you know, sometimes. So we think that, okay, I should not instruct them anymore, because I'm serving, right, I should not correct them anymore, because actually I'm, you know, I'm serving. So sometimes we think in those ways, right, let go of our leadership or let go or compromise on the role and the responsibility that we have called to do, right. So we need to be careful, you know, our heart is a heart where we are saying, okay, my heart is, I want to serve these people or this, whoever the Lord has appointed me as an overseer, I want to serve. At the same time, I need to fulfill that responsibility to which He has called, you know, whatever it requires, if it needs leading, if it needs correcting, if it needs, you know, appointing and all that, instructing, I do it to the full ability with the heart of a servant, right. So I just wanted to state that. Do you have a question? Pastor, one more thing like being servants, like some of the people, some of the pastors will disciple some junior pastors. So what is the level that we can go and their leadership? So this, this, this serving is commander, everything like to serve the pastor also, whatever he says, and his personal works, is that we can take it as a learning or how much we can go in that perspective. You know, as a leader. As a servant, okay, the other side, okay, how much can we do? See, the thing is, okay, you want to do it willingly, and it's not really commanded of you, right. Thank you. For example, you were talking about some personal work, doing some personal work, buying some vegetables, buying, you know, getting this done, etc. As long as that's not, you know, you are not commanded, manipulated to do it, saying, you know, you are buying disciples, therefore you need to do all this. I think it's fine, you know, out of your own free will, out of your heart, you want to do it, you want to serve the other. It's fine, but if it becomes something like a controlling thing, we don't see it in the life of Jesus, right. He doesn't do that. So we need to ask ourselves, you know, do I need to do this? Yeah, I'm respecting, honoring and all that. But then, you know, has this crossed that boundary? Has this crossed that line of free will? And is it become a control? Is it become something like a manipulation? Then we need to be careful. Yeah. And so as a leader, if you see the other side, that also we need to be careful, you know, am I, you know, just using their mess? Am I really serving them or am I using them to serve me in all these things? We need to be really careful. Yeah. The thing is also the sixth point, leader be an example. So if he's a leader or he's a pastor also, he's a human being. Everyone have their own weaknesses. So if someone is pointing out on our weaknesses, like how much extent we have to be an example in other things? Like there will be some weaknesses for us also. That doesn't mean they should not, they should point each and everything, what we are doing, our personal works, or any personal business or character in few things. And it should not affect we as our own self, right? Yeah. So the thing is, let's say somebody gives a feedback and then or review or something. And then they say that, you know, they point out, you know, pastor, this is like this, it should be changed, or this needs to be corrected. And you see, you check, you know, is it valid? Is it really, first of all, is it true? Okay. Because sometimes it can be an assumption on the other person, it can be, you know, whatever, you know, it could be their own, their own mind that they, like, for example, I'll tell you once one morning, I walked into church and then I think something was on my mind. So I, I just went and I believe this person wished me, I did not wish. Okay, so I, I just went, I just, I think we were late or something, this happened many years ago. And so, so this person, I noticed that during the, you know, you look at everyone, and then you're seeing, and then this person's face was a little different, you know, he's normally a very friendly person, was very receptive. And it was very, you know, you look away, every time you look at him, you look away. So something was, so I, after the service, I asked him, you know, like, is everything okay? You're a little disturbed, preoccupied. And he said, yeah, you know, when you walked in, I wished you good morning, and you just, you didn't even say anything. So, you know, so then, and I apologized, I corrected myself. But the thing is that, that's a valid thing, right? It's not that you wanted to dishonor them in any way, and you intentionally, but it was a mistake, a genuine mistake. But you didn't, you didn't see it, and your mind was thinking of something else. So these things happen, the people point out and say, and then we willingly receive it and they say, okay, I'll, you know, I'll change, I'll correct. And this kind of thing is good. But then some people might also, you know, just want to poke holes, just say, you know, you should not have done. I also remember one person saying, and, you know, you, while praying for, I think I was a leading worship and I said pray for this, pray for that. And I was, and I was listening around different, different languages in different states. It was just end of a worship time. So I was just saying, you know, let's pray for this. I think we were singing some song about the nation. That person was very upset. You didn't, you didn't say pray for Karnataka. You know, you're living in Karnataka, you're staying in this thing and you're ministering. Yeah, you didn't say. Then, you know, I think you have a bias about, you know, that kind of thing. So you just take it, you know, you take it with a pinch of salt. Okay. It's a, it's a mistake. Oversight. I didn't even realize how many other languages I listed, how many other states I listed. I didn't even realize, but then this person obviously noted and said this. So sometimes people might, I don't know, because of their own insecurities, because of their own hurts, they might say, so just make that distinction and just go with it. Yeah, just need to be discerning. And yeah, that's all we can say. Okay. Okay. We still have some more time. So let's, let's just kind of change. But so that is what we saw about the life of the Lord Jesus, life and ministry of the Lord Jesus and how he was an example in all these seven things. So we can, we can also do the same thing. Right. So, you know, in looking at these examples, we saw that he was very clear about his purpose. Right. For this purpose I had, so he would not be deviated from the purpose, irrespective of the difficulty of the environment or the situation. Right. Despite the pain, despite the difficulty of the situation, he would not be discouraged. He would not be distracted. He would not be very focused because he knew this was the purpose. And so, you know, we're just going to talk about this word vision. Okay. It's different from visions and dreams, something that we, you know, supernaturally see by the work of the Holy Spirit. You're looking at vision being something that is, but that communicates purpose. Okay. So a vision statement. Okay. So you all know the minister, the vision of APC as a church and ministry. Right. So what is that vision? Being salt and light is one part of it. Come on. Okay. Let's, okay. Online folks also, you can actually list down. What is the vision? So I think during the announcements, we all switch off. When we watch the service, anyone wants to take online, you can post it and let's see if we get it complete. So no checking. Okay. Online students, somebody is checking. Okay. Okay. So vision of all people church is to be salt and light in the city of Bangalore and and a voice to the nation and to the nations. Okay. So that's the full or what? Excuse me. So that's the vision. So what does it tell you vision? Let's just analyze it. Salt and light to the city of Bangalore, voice to the nation and to the nations. Okay. So what does it, when you read that, what does it tell you? What do you get from it? What do you understand from it about the church, about the ministry? What does it tell you? That we should be an example. First in Bangalore, like how you're going to live our life, not live a life, but church and to others all over the world. That we as in the church. Okay. The church community. Okay. Okay. Francis, we'll just pass the mic. So there is that mainly two things, light and salt. Salt and light, yeah. It is like showing the light of the Dalmas and salt. It's a taste of the Jesus to the city of Bangalore and to the nation, the India and the, all the world. Okay. Okay. Right. Nikhil. Nikhil say. Okay. What do you understand from that statement? Like about the statement itself. Okay. That's one part of it. What else? Like, as Nina Chetty said, like first, for this Bangalore, not to that be an example for this world also. Okay. Okay. Prince. Like just communicating what it will do, like what is the purpose of the church is to be your flavor and also to guide and show to the place that Bangalore at the first and also to speak to nations and also to nations.
