Christ Model of Christian Leadership Fcl-5-Ppt-Final-Period

• INTRODUCTION
• Christ Model of Christian Leadership
This however , is not the way it is among you. If

one of you wants to be great, you must be the
servant of the rest; and if one of you wants to be
first, you must be the slave of all. For the Son od
Man did not come to be served, but give his life to
redeem many people.” (Mark 10:43-45
Learning Outcomes
1. Explain the profound meaning of discipleship and the
nature of Christian Leadership
2. Present creative synthesis on the idea of effective and
authentic leadership
Who is a Christian leader?
Christian leadership reflects

and emulates the life and
teachings of Christ.
Detachment
from material
things
Using God-given The
gifts and martyrs
potentials
A person who
received
Christian baptism
Being an Authentic Christian?
Christian is defined as a “person who
has received Christian baptism or is a
believer in Christianity.” A person having
“qualities associated those of decency,
kindness, and fairness” (Oxford, 2003).
Any people who believe in Christ and
followed his teachings are called
Christians.
The martyrs
• True to the history of the
followers of Christ that some
were stoned to death or burned
alive because of their belief in
Christ. Some of them became
good leaders especially in
convincing others to follow
Christ.
St Stephen, first
Christian martyr-
stoned to death
Detachment from material things
• “Do not love the world or the
things in the world…For all that
is in the world – the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eyes, the
pride in riches – comes not
from the Father but from the
world” (I John 2:15-16).
Must a follower of Jesus Christ completely
isolate herself/himself from the world, and
everything in it, in order to avoid being
worldly? Must Christians be odd and weird,
and sound and look “spiritual” in order to
avoid worldly things?
Problem of consumption
• In this age of
consumerism material
things play an important
role in establishing one’s
social standing.
Consumption is about
status competition.
Problem of consumption
Using God Given Talents
• 1. Every person has potential -- no matter how much

you may have achieved already, and no matter how
old you are. There's still more God has for you to be
and do!
• 2. Every person has been created by God to bring Him glory.

How do we accomplish that? By being the people He made us to
be, as individuals and then collectively as His church, and by
fulfilling His purposes for us on earth.
•3. God has not only

created you with the gifts
and talents to do His work
on this earth, but He also
has created you with the
desires, dreams, and
disposition to become a
person with whom He
enjoys fellowship and
spiritual intimacy.
Summary Conclusion
Christian leadership reflects and emulates

Definition of Christian
the life and teachings of Christ.

• INTRODUCTION
• SERVANT Leadership
This however , is not the way it is among you. If one of you

wants to be great, you must be the servant of the rest; and
if one of you wants to be first, you must be the slave of all.
For the Son od Man did not come to be served, but give his
life to redeem many people.” (Mark 10:43-45
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
• understand the functions of servant leadership in Christian life.

• exercise the role of servant leadership in the community.
• participate in community based programs which emphasize servant
leadership.
What is servant ?
Word servant is from Latin word SERVIRE means submission

of oneself . In the context , servant is defined as” a person
who perform duties for others ,especially person employed in
a house domestic duties or as personal attendant’’.
What is a servant leadership?
• Robert K. Greenleaf first coined the phrase "servant leadership" in his 1970
essay, "The Servant as a Leader." However, it's an approach that people have
used for centuries.
As a servant leader, you're a "servant first" – you focus on the needs of others,
especially team members, before you consider your own. You acknowledge
other people's perspectives, give them the support they need to meet their work
and personal goals, involve them in decisions where appropriate, and build a
sense of community within your team. This leads to higher engagement, more
trust, and stronger relationships with team members and other stakeholders. It
can also lead to increased innovation.
Servant Leadership
Servant leaders are projected in the

contemporary leadership like having missions ,
charitable works through feeding programs,
and serving the community like teaching
catechisms in public schools without any
remuneration purely service for the glory of
god.
Characteristic of servant leadership
Listening
A leader knows how to listen. Listening is a skill, in the sense that
when you listen ,one needs to be attentive and careful not be
judgmental of other persons .
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feeling of
another’’( Oxford ,2003 ). They assume the good intentions of
co-workers and do not reject them as people even when one
cannot accept their behaviour or performance .
Healing
Learning healing is not easy especially when a leader
experienced sufferings . learning to heal is powerful
force for transmission and integration . one strength
of servant-leaders is their potential for healing
themselves and others.
. Persuasion
Servant leaders rely upon persuasion rather than their
positional authority than making decisions. They
seek to convince others rather than coerce
compliance . the servant leader is effective at
building consensus within group.
Commitment to service
Servant –leaders believe that people have an intrinsic value beyond
their tangible contributions as workers . as such ,the servant-leaders
are deeply committed to the growth of individual ,recognizing
tremendous possibility to do everything within their power to nurture
the personal, professional and spiritual growth of employees.
Building community
The servant-leaders sense that much has been lost as a result of
the shift from local communities to large organizations as the
primary shapers of human lives . this awareness causes servant-
leaders to identify some means for building among those who work
with them.
Conceptualization
This characteristic relates to your ability to "dream great dreams,"
so that you look beyond day-to-day realities to the bigger picture.
If you're a senior leader in your company, work through and develop

a robust organizational strategy . Then, whatever level you're at,
create mission and vision statements for your team, and make it
clear how people's roles tie in with your team's and organization's
long-term objectives. Also, develop long-term focus so that you
stay motivated to achieve your more distant goals, without getting
distracted.
Write a 600 hundred words personal reflection in
answering the following questions :
1. How would you empathize with someone who experience

loss because someone in their family died because of covid
19?
2. As servant leader why is it more importance to persuade
rather than coerce someone?

INTRODUCTION
LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE
Called leaders are those that are called by God to do His work. They are
leaders that maybe were not qualified to be leaders, but God chose
them and set in them great works to enhance His kingdom. These
leaders have a special and important role in the enrichment of the
Kingdom of God. Their roles as leaders have been predetermined by
God to help Him in bringing His people out of the darkness and evil in
this world and into His kingdom of light. Many of today’s leaders that
would qualify as called would be any religious leader whether that is a
priest/pastor or someone involved in youth ministry or simply
volunteering.
Learning Outcomes

• discuss the value of leadership by example;
• internalize the value of leadership as important ingredient in Christian
leadership;
• apply some of the qualities of leadership.
Biblical foundation
‘’ The who leads must be like the one who serves ….And I am among you as
one who serves. ‘’( Luke 22:26-28).

Most Inspiring Biblical Leaders
• The depth of character within the people of the Biblical stories is

astounding. They faced great challenges and overcame them with faith
and endurance. For leaders in business today, there is much to learn
from these ordinary people who made decisions that transformed them
into extraordinary legends. Organizational leadership is in dire need of
that level of conviction and determination.
Noah: Leaders do what’s right even if they are alone
• In Genesis 6, God is despairing over the

wickedness that has overtaken humanity.
Reluctantly, he decides to wipe out the human
race and start from scratch. Noah, however, is
the only one who has not been corrupted. You
know the story. God tells him to build an ark
that will save him, his family, and a whole host
of animal life. As he is boarding the ark, God
says to him, “for you alone I have seen to be
righteous before Me in this time.”
Abraham: Leaders embrace the unknown
• God approaches Abraham in Genesis 12 and tells him to “Go forth

from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s
house, to the land which I will show you.” In other words, Abraham is
instructed to leave his comfort zone and march onward into
uncertainty. As business leaders, that’s a hot topic: managing risk
and uncertainty. Great leaders embrace that uncertainty, because
they know the truth: the promised land awaits them on the other side.
Nehemiah:
"Build on what God has given you."
His leadership was built not so much on ancestry from the Jewish
lineage as by faithfulness. He would build the walls on faith. He
was obscure in comparison to other great Old Testament heroes,
but faithfulness separated him from mediocrity. God has given
each leader specific gifts. Some are not as visible; all are useful.
Joseph: Leaders endure in spite of circumstances
• The story of Joseph beginning in Genesis 37 is

powerful. The guy had a pretty tough life. He
1. Joseph life was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers.
His father was told that he was killed by a wild
animal. He was framed by his boss’s wife
because he refused to sleep with her and was
thrown into prison. He interpreted the dream of
a prisoner who was released and restored to his
position, but the guy forgot about him.
Joseph: Leaders endure in spite of circumstances
• In the end, though, Joseph became the leader

of all Egypt–second only to the Pharaoh
2. Joseph life himself. When there is a famine, he is then able
to save his family from starvation. He tells his
brothers when he sees them again that, though
they meant harm, God orchestrated the events
to put Joseph in a position to save them.
Leaders have a vision that sustains them
through difficult times.
Moses: leaders stick up for their people
MOSES is the greatest called leader of the Old

Testament. Born a Levite and raised an Egyptian
he is a “misfit” in both cultures. He runs away to
the desert where he finds God in a “burning” bush
calling out to him. Moses answers God’s call by
saying “Here I am” (Exodus 3:4). Moses made a
great leader because he was available. He was
alone in the desert giving God opportunity to call
out to him.
David: Leaders are not afraid of giants
• Everybody knows this story. In 1 Samuel 17, the Israelites

are being defeated by the Philistines and their 9-foot tall
giant–Goliath. Goliath taunts the Israelites and challenges
them to send him one man and, if that man should defeat
him, the Philistines would become their servants. David, a
small shepherd boy who will not even fit into the armor he
is provided, volunteers.
David: Leaders are not afraid of giants
When Goliath mocks him, David says, “You come to me

with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in
the name of the Lord of hosts, whom you have taunted.”
With that, he takes a stone, slings it at Goliaths forehead,
and knocks the giant to the ground–dead. In other words,
you can face any challenge as long as you have
conviction and strength of resolve on your side.
Write a 600 hundred words reflection in answering the following questions :
1. The pandemic has brought difficulties and seemingly insurmountable challenges

to many people: will you enumerate at least three story of three different
persons or group who endured in spite of such dreadful circumstance.
2. While the sight of doctors and nurses aiding the sick is comforting to many
during covid 19 pandemic, reports of health workers being attacked became
news, with many experiencing eviction, ridicule, and harassment; how did DOH
or government leaders defended them?
Summary Conclusion
Leadership by
example
These leaders have a special and important role in the

enrichment of the Kingdom of God. Their roles as leaders have
been predetermined by God to help Him in bringing His people
out of the darkness and evil in this world and into His kingdom
of light.
Summary Conclusion
Biblical leaders
Noah Builder’s of the ark, symbol of God’s salvation
Abraham Abraham is instructed to leave his comfort zone. Great

leaders embrace that uncertainty
Moses Moses made a great leader because he was available.
He was alone in the desert giving God opportunity to
call out to him.

Introduction
Insights on Leadership from Saint Paul
• Throughout the New Testament we see that Paul was bold in his
proclamation of the Gospel. In Romans 1:16, he stated: “For I am not
ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to
everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” As a
leader, he did not worry about pleasing people or being liked. John
Maxwell has written “You can never make everyone happy. And
wanting to do so is a setup for disappointment or failure.” And we
should never be surprised when we face opposition. In John 15:18,
Jesus told his followers “If the world hates you, know that it has hated
me before it hated you.”
Learning Outcome
 Understand the qualifications of leadership as seen in st. Paul’s

life.
 Evaluate leadership qualities of Paul and its distinction with our

present leaders.
 Assimilate the leadership qualities of St. Paul.

Saint Paul is a “missionary of Jewish descent; known as
Paul the Apostle, or Saul of Tarsus, or the Apostle of the
Gentiles. he first time we encounter Paul, then known as Saul of
Tarsus, in the Book of Acts, it was during the stoning of Stephen
in Acts 7.
We are told in Acts 8:1 that Saul approved of Stephen’s

execution Later, we are told that Saul then ravaged the church
(Acts 8:3). But Jesus saves Saul as he was on his way to
Damascus, and chose him, the one who was persecuting Jesus
and the church, to be the one to take the Gospel to the
Gentiles. This is a good lesson for us. We may not have the
best grades, most degrees or experience, speaking ability or
charisma, but God can still use us for his purposes as leaders.

Leadership Traits of Paul
1. From being a persecutor to becoming a follower and

2. He could addressed his teachings to statesmen, soldiers,

kings and other persons.
3. Unprejudiced-he taught both Jews and Gentiles
4. Faithful. He had a proper perspective on life—and death,

and he persevered
5. A natural Leader by any measure, St. Paul became a
great spiritual leader when his heart and mind were captured
by Jesus Christ.
6. He had Boundless, Christ-centered Ambition. His

supreme love for Christ coupled with the obligation to share
Christ’s message were his powerful lifetime motives.
7. Paul Enjoyed the Illumination and Inspiration of the

Holy Spirit. The qualities of leadership St. Paul taught are as
relevant now as during the first century A.D.
8.1 Social Qualifications. With respect to relationship with the
community and the Church, the leader is to be above reproach.
8.2 Moral Qualifications. Moral principles common to the Christian life

are under constant, subtle attacks and more so sexual faithfulness.
8.3 Mental Qualifications. A leader must be prudent, a person with

sound judgement.
8.4 Personality Qualifications. If you would rather pick a fight than

solve a problem, do not consider leading the community.
8.5 Domestic Qualifications. The Christian leader who is married

must demonstrate the ability to manage his own family and see that his
children obey him with proper respect. St. Paul urges a well ordered
home where mutual respect and supportive harmony are the
keystones.
8.6 Maturity
A novice or new convert should not be pushed into leadership.
A plant needs time to take root and come to maturity, and the
process cannot be hurried.
A promising man should be given a widening opportunity to

serve at humbler and less prominent tasks that will develop both
natural and spiritual gifts.
Maturity is shown in a magnanimous spirit and broad vision.

INTRODUCTION
St. Peter
is the most well known apostle. Described by Jesus as “a fisher of men, “he
was a fisherman by trade and was with Jesus from the beginning of his teachings. According
to Matthew, peter was the first to believe in the divinity of Jesus. He said: “thou art the Christ,
the son of the living god." Peter was present at most of the important events described in the
gospels.
He is the first pope in the history of the catholic church. Jesus entrusted a specific
authority to peter: 'I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on
earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven'
[matt 16:19]. The 'power of the keys' designates authority to govern the house of god, which is
the church
Learning Outcome
• analyze the meaning of leadership in St. Peter’s life.
• evaluate leadership qualities of Peter and its distinction with our present
leaders.
• assimilate the leadership qualities of St. Peter.

BIBLICAL FOUNDATION
“I appeal to you to be shepherds of the flock that

God gave you and to take care of it willingly, as God
wants you to, and not unwillingly. Do your work, not for
mere pay, but from a real desire to serve. “
( 1 Peter 5; 1-3)
Who is ST. PETER
 He was named as Simon

 The name Peter means “the rock,” a name given by Jesus-
signifying the foundation of the Church
 According to Matthew, Peter was the first to believe in the
divinity of Jesus.
 He is regarded as the first bishop of Rome
 Martyred around 67 ACE (After Common Era)

LEADERSHIP TRAITS OF PETER
1 Peter 5:2-4 International Children’s Bible (ICB)
Take care of God’s flock, his people, that you

2
are responsible for. Watch over it because you

want to, not because you are forced to do it.
That is how god wants it. Do it because you are
happy to serve, not because you want
money. 3 do not be like a ruler over people you
are responsible for. Be good examples to
them. 4 then when Christ, the head shepherd, 1. Care of God’s flock
comes, you will get a crown. This crown will be
glorious, and it will never lose its beauty.
WHAT IT MEANS "TO FEED THE FLOCK"
This responsibility, which Jesus Christ specifically emphasized to the

apostle Peter, incorporates a number of different aspects, all of which fit
under the umbrella expression "to feed the flock". Thus it includes:
1) providing spiritual food, making the truth plain;
2) leading by example in the way of practical Christianity;
3) protecting god's people from "the wolves";
4) making sacrifices for the benefit of the sheep;
5) encouraging god's people in the face of opposition;
6) helping god's people to overcome trials;
2. He does not approach his flock

from on high. He writes as a witness
to the sufferings of Christ, one whose
heart has been humbled by failure,
broken and conquered by Calvary’s
love.
3. The Christian leader is to approach the work willingly, not by
coercion. Leaders of the community in St. Peter’s time faced
challenges that would daunt the stoutest heart, yet he urges that
they not faint or retreat from them.
4. Leaders will be called upon to formulate policy , to set budgets,
and decide priorities, to deal with property. None of that can be
done well if personal gain looms as a background motive.
5. A domineering manner, an
unbridled ambition, an offensive
strut, a tyrant’s talk- no attitude
could be less firm for one who
claims to be a servant of Christ.
6. But set an example for the
believers in speech, in life, in love,
in faith and in purity (1 Timothy
4:12)
LEADERSHIP TRAITS OF
PETER
7. Pride lurks at the heels of power ,
but god will not encourage proud men in
his service.
8. When the chief shepherd appears, you will win for
yourselves the unfading treasure or crown of glory..
We’re not told what that kind of crown of glory is, but it sounds
good! Anything called a "treasure" has to be extremely valuable
and worthwhile. And Jesus assured us that we can be laying up

Introduction
Leadership in a Democratic Christian Perspective
• Christian leaders must center their characters on a Christ-like servant heart, not
serving themselves with the benefits of position, power and status, emulating leaders
in the world. On the contrary, Jesus calls us, as his leaders, to grow a servant heart.
He calls us to follow his example with humility, serving those whom we lead; enabling
them to achieve the purpose to which god calls them is our goal. Why? Because in
the context of the kingdom of god, they are not our tools but together, we
collaboratively serve god and his purposes. This is Jesus' leadership style.
Learning Outcome
 understand the democratic leadership.
 obtain democratic leadership qualities .
 realize in oneself the essence of the democratic

leadership.
What is democracy?
• Democracy is a concept everyone is aware of and in order to understand

how democratic leadership works, you must comprehend the age-old
theory of democracy.
• The word democracy has it roots in ancient Greece, which is where the
concept of democracy began. The word “democracy” means “rule by the
(simple) people”. The essential idea is that instead of someone ruling over
people, such as in a tyranny or oligarchy, the people hold the power to
decide.

(simple) people”. The basic idea is that the people hold the power to
decide who leads them instead of someone ruling over them, such as in a
tyranny or oligarchy.
• It was the ideas of Socrates, Aristotle and Plato that finally gave birth to
democracy as a political philosophy. In his famous book Politics, Aristotle
describes the benefits of democracy:
• “When states are democratically governed according to law, there are no demagogues, and
the best citizens are securely in the saddle; but where the laws are not sovereign, there you
find demagogues. The people become a monarch…such people, in its role as a monarch, not
being controlled by law, aims at sole power and becomes like a master.”
Defining democratic leadership
• The early part of the 20th century witnessed more interest towards leadership.
People began examining what great leaders are about and whether different
leadership strategies exist. The idea of democratic leadership was one of the
theories that popped up during this time.
• The modern basis for the democratic leadership theory dates back to the
studies done in the 1930s and 1940s. Kurt Lewin, together with his colleagues
R. Lippit and R.K. White, determined three distinctive decision-making styles,
which they thought were closely linked with leadership.
The three leadership styles included autocratic, democratic and laissez
faire and their decision-making methods are broadly outlined in the
image below:
• The democratic style, also referred to as participative leadership, involved the
subordinates in the decision-making. The leader and the subordinates shared an
equal voice and these groups didn’t showcase hierarchy. The leadership style
involved appraisal of both the leader and the subordinates, with strong feedback
structures available.
Lewin et al. Identified three core elements of democratic leadership:
• The leader would expect the subordinates to report to leaders regarding

the task.
• The leader would expect the subordinates to exhibit self-confidence and
the ability to get things done without constant supervision.
• The leader would expect the subordinates to involve others in the
decision-making process and therefore not act alone.
• The democratic style, also referred to as participative leadership, involved the
subordinates in the decision-making. The leader and the subordinates shared an
equal voice and these groups didn’t showcase hierarchy. The leadership style

structures available.

decision-making process and therefore not act alone.
Core functions of a democratic leadership framework.
One of the most commonly used set of democratic leadership functions came from
Gastil’s 1994 article. In the article, Gastil outlined the three core elements you need for
the framework to work.
aiding of democratic

subordinates
making in deliberations.
1. Distribution of leadership
• Obviously, the first major function of the framework has to be about distributing the
power. The democratic leadership requires an equally shared power structure,
without any hierarchy in decision-making. Gastil quoted Krech et al, who wrote in
1962, that the leader must aim “to evoke maximum involvement and the participation
of every member in the group activities and in the determination of objectives”.
• But the responsibility to share responsibilities doesn’t mean that each decision must
always be made within the group. Depending on the specific roles and
responsibilities, certain decisions might be only in the hands of the leader. This sort
of framework refers to the functionality of representative democracy.
Distribution of leadership
• Each decision made must be done according to the expectations of the electorate
and the member has to be able to explain his decisions to the voter. Similarly, a
leader might have the power to make certain decisions, guaranteed that he or she is
able to do it with the approval of his or her subordinates.
• Organizations must therefore carefully define the roles and distribute power in
decision-making according to these roles. The focus of it must aim for a democratic
framework, where no one person has concentrated power over others.
2. The empowerment of subordinates
• Another vital function of the leadership system is the ability to empower the
subordinates. In its simplest form, this happens through the distribution of
responsibilities and power to make decisions. Democratic leadership doesn’t purely
assume people should participate in decision-making, it actively requests people to
contribute.
The empowerment of subordinates
• Furthermore, the framework should focus on empowering subordinates through the

development of their skills. Since the leadership model requires people to be part of the
decision-making process, they should look for enhancing people’s skill set. This includes
things like public speaking, logical thinking and organizational skills, aside from the pure
professional abilities required within the specific industry.
3. Aiding of Democratic Decision-Making in deliberations
The final core function of democratic leadership model revolves around the
creation of structures that support and encourage deliberation. According to
Gastil, this can be achieved “through constructive participation, facilitation, and
the maintenance of healthy relationships and a positive emotional setting”. If
these are fostered, then the above two functions are easier to achieve.

emotional setting”. If these are fostered, then the above two functions are
easier to achieve.
THE QUALITIES OF A DEMOCRATIC LEADER
• 1. Intelligence
• While all leadership styles require the leader to be intelligent and competent,
democratic leadership is among the top styles that call for this trait. Because
the democratic leader is like a conductor of an orchestra, he or she needs to
have the competency to keep all the parts together and moving. Although the
decisions might not be in the hands of the leader, the leader needs to ensure
the group is competent enough to make the decisions.
• 2. Honesty
• Democratic leaders need to be honest. The open communication and
discussion-led leadership framework won’t work if the leader can’t be honest
with the subordinates. The leader must be able to lay out the situation to ensure
decisions are made on real information and the leader has to stay honest about
his or her own opinion. While the leader might have the final say, it doesn’t
mean the leader shouldn’t lay down his or her own ideas for what the best
course of action should be.
• 3. Creative
• A democratic leader must also show plenty of creative flair. Since the leadership
framework requires innovative ideas and collaboration, the leader must be able to show
the way with ideas. The leader must also be able to help other members of the team to
innovate and this itself can require innovative thinking from the leader.
• Creativity is often considered an innate trait, but everyone can improve and enhance
their creative thinking. As a leader, you can improve your own creativity, but also
subordinate’s creativity by establishing the right environment within the organization.
• 4. Fairness
• Since people will be open to speak their mind and decisions are mainly done through majority
vote, the leader has to be able to show fairness. There can’t be a situation where certain ideas
are dealt in a favorable manner, while other people’s ideas are not fully appreciated. The
democratic framework must be fair and consistent, with the leader bearing the brunt of this
responsibility.
• As a leader, you need to be able to distance yourself from the situation emotionally and to
think rationally. Fairness in this context also means transparency. If you allow subordinates to
understand your own thinking process and decisions, you will show them your decisions are
based on rationality and not unfair feelings you might have towards different employees.

• Now, a human act which proceeds from both the will and intellect is a willed act.
• It proceeds from the will, following the knowledge and judgment of the mind or

act is a moral act. Since the will is free, a human act is a free act. Human acts are
either good or bad, depending on whether they agree or disagree with the norms
of morality. Morally indifferent human acts are purely theoretical. In practice all
deliberate actions are somehow either morally good or bad.

Ignorance Is the absence of knowledge
Concupiscence Concupiscence is a strong impulse of the sensible appetite

evil
Fear Fear arises from the apprehension of threatening evil, and
prompts us to seek safety in flight. Our will is thus dragged
along, as it were, and so its freedom is restricted and our
responsibility is diminished to the same extent. Great fear
sometimes exempts a person from acts enjoined by positive
law.
violence Violence is an impulse from without tending to force the agent to act
against his choice. It cannot affect the will directly -- i. e., the elicited
acts of the will -- for we cannot will that which at the same time we do
not will. But violence can sometimes affect our external acts. In so far
as the violence is irresistible, we are not responsible for the external
act. If, however, the will yields a reluctant yet real consent, we are
blamable, though in a lower degree than if there had been no
reluctance.
Factors that cause an act to become acts
of man-actus hominis
Passion are movements of the irrational part of the soul attended by a

notable alteration of the body, on the apprehension of good
or evil. In the strict meaning of the word, passions are
organic affections aroused by sensible good or evil.
habits are defined as more or less permanent qualities which
dispose a faculty to act readily and with ease. A habit results
naturally from frequent repetition of the same act. Thus, by
constantly restraining the passion of anger, a person gains
facility in doing so; or, in other words, he acquires the virtue
of meekness.

Man of God
Jesus Christ comes into our lives not only to save us from the
power of sin, but also to empower us to become fully human and
fully alive. He comes into our lives to remind us that God the
Father created us in love and sustain us in love.
Learning Objectives

 discuss the role of man in the world through his relationship with God
 demonstrate the importance of sacred scriptures in the life of each
Christian.
 share to others the beauty of one’s relationship with God.
Biblical Foundation
For God sent his sent into the world not to condemn the world, but so
through him the world might be saved .
( John 3:17)
Man of God 1 Timothy 6:11-16
 What are characteristics of a man or woman of God

—someone mature in the faith?
 In this text, Paul strikes a contrast between the false

teachers and Timothy. He says, “But you, as a
person dedicated to God, keep away from all that.”
“A person dedicated to God” can also be translated
“man of God.” It was a tremendous privilege for
Timothy to be called a man of God.
Man of God 1 Timothy 6:11-16
This special designation was also given to
 Moses (Deut. 33:1),

 Samuel (1 Sam. 9:6),
 Elijah (1 Kings 17:18), and
 David (Neh. 12:24);
So Timothy was in good company.”1 This title referred to somebody wholly

possessed by God and who spoke for him. Where the false teachers were men
of this world, Timothy was a man of God.
Characteristics of the Man of God
1. The Man of God Pursues Godly Character
Not only is the man of God known by what he flees but by what he pursues. The word “pursue” is
sometimes translated “persecute. It refers to eagerness and diligence in going after something. It implies
that godly character doesn’t happen overnight. It is something that a person continually works at for the
rest of his life.
Are you pursuing godly character?
Because God saved us and made us righteous, believers should pursue a lifestyle of righteousness (Eph
2:10). This includes, but is not limited to,
• serving others,
• caring for the neglected,
• evangelizing the lost,
• disciplining believers, and
• worshiping God.
The man of God is in constant pursuit of these things.

• worshiping God.
The man of God is in constant pursuit of these things.

2. The Man of God Pursues Endurance
Endurance in the Greek means to “bear up under” something. It is how the man of God strives
to go through trials and difficulties. Our natural response to trials is to quit or give up, but enduring
bears gracious fruits in our lives.
Romans 5:3-4 says we should rejoice in suffering because it produces
perseverance (or endurance),
perseverance creates character, and
 character creates hope
3. The Man of God Fights for the Faith
Compete well for the faith” can also be translated “Fight the good fight of the faith.”
The man of God is not only known for what he flees and pursues, but also what he fights
for.
Paul says, “Fight the good fight of the faith.” What is he referring to? The presence of the
article “the” seems to refer to the doctrines of the faith and not just belief in God.
Fight literally means to “‘keep on fighting!’
 It is a word from which we get our English word agonize, and it applies both to athletes
and to soldiers.
 It describes a person straining and giving his best to win the prize or win the battle.” 6 The
Greek literally says, “agonize the good agony.”7

 Men and women who cannot even conceive of love of God which does not include love for the

issue in justice for others is a farce.
 We are commanded to love one another as Jesus does. There is not one person Jesus does not
love and did not come to save - this includes everyone you lock eyes with, walk past on the
street, hear about in the news, live next door to, stand behind in line at the grocery store, or sit
next to in the waiting room. When we actively love those around us, putting their needs before
our own, we are taking the same amazing love that Jesus has poured out to us and becoming a
living, breathing, beautiful display for humanity.
Being for Others

Readiness for Change
 Christian education is a kind of listening to the living God; to read the gospel so
as always to find new light in it; to think with the church, within which the word of
God always ancient, ever new, resounds with that precise note and timbre
needed by each historical epoch. For this is what counts; on this is founded our
confidence for the future.
 Being a believer means that one lives a certain way -- walking with the lord,
doing justice, loving kindness, living peaceably among all people. Christian
discipleship means practicing what Jesus preached. Discipleship is found in a
relationship with Christ and a commitment to his mission of "bringing good news

We have… been able to perceive the

today as a fortified city and as a
pillar of iron and as walls of
bronze against the whole land, to
the kings of Judah, to its princes,
to its priests, and to the people of
the land. They will fight against
you, but they will not overcome
you, for I am with you to deliver
you,” declares the LORD. –
Jeremiah 1:18-19
Don’t give in when you are challenged,
attacked, or criticized.
 You younger men, likewise, be subject
to your elders; and all of you, clothe
yourselves with humility toward one
another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE
PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE
HUMBLE. Therefore humble yourselves
under the mighty hand of God, that He
may exalt you at the proper time,
casting all your anxiety on Him, because
He cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:5-7
Remember the wisdom of the elders.

God’s Call to Action
Scripture declares that our heavenly father also equates listening to a
prescribed and obvious call to action – being doers of his word. In James
1:22, James reiterates Jesus' warning about hearing his words, but not acting
on them. James reminds us that it is important for us to listen to god’s word,
but it is crucial for us to also “do what it says.”
If we follow our own preferred plan of action, then we “deceive ourselves.”
Listening is only the catalyst for action — God’s call to action — for Christ
followers to build a foundation of solid rock.
Can you imagine a community of Christ followers that embrace God’s call to
action? James’ declaration reminds us that there is an obvious correlation
between hearing and doing.
In our stubborn self-sufficiency, we easily defer to our personal preferred plan
of action — with its unavoidable consequences. Often, listening to God is
easy, but our greater challenge and call is to surrender a listening ear that
embraces God’s non-negotiable call to live out His Word.

INTRODUCTION
A MAN OF COMMANDMENTS
Jesus Christ comes into our lives not only to save us

from the power of sin, but also to empower us to become
fully human and fully alive. He comes into our lives to
remind us that god the father created us in love and
sustain us in love.
Learning Objectives

 recognize man’s identity in God’s commandments.
 draw strength from God’s commandments in the face of life’s challenges.
 obey with complete surrender to God’s loving commandments.
Blessedness of keeping
God’s law
“Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk

in the law of the LORD! Blessed are those who keep
his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,
who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!” (vv. 1–3).
Psalm 119:1-8
God’s law
The psalmist proclaims great blessing on the person who seeks to know
and walk in the law of God, even going so far as to assert that the one who
lives according to the Lord’s statutes will “not be put to shame.”
Although blessings are associated with observing the law, we must note
that the psalmist is not talking about absolute perfection when he speaks of
keeping the law blamelessly (119:1). The psalm teaches implicitly that no
sinner can render this kind of obedience, for the psalmist, an exemplary
figure, prays that he would be able to keep the commandments
God’s law
He recognizes his own inability and prays for the grace to walk in
righteousness. The blamelessness commended is a life wherein one is
oriented in the main toward the things of God. It is a life lived in gratitude
that another—Jesus Christ—has kept the law perfectly in our place (Rom.
5:12-21).
God’s law
We do not obey the law in order to be declared righteous in the Lord’s

sight; we obey because we have been declared righteous in Christ alone.
Calvin writes that “. when uprightness is demanded of the children of
God, they do not lose the gracious remission of their sins, in which their
salvation alone consists”
The Ten Commandments are eternal
gospel principles that are necessary for our
exaltation. The Lord revealed them to Moses in
TEN COMMANDMENTS ancient times (see Exodus 20:1–17), and they are
also referenced in whole or in part in other books
of scripture (see Matthew 19:18–19; Romans
13:9) The Ten Commandments are a vital part of
the gospel. Obedience to these commandments
paves the way for obedience to other gospel
principles.
 The “10 commandments” are listed in Exodus 20, Deuteronomy 5 and Exodus
34. The first two lists (Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5) are virtually identical, with
a few differences in wording and order. Exodus 34, however, seems to be a
completely different (and less familiar) set of commandments.
 The list in Exodus 20 is the one to which most people are referring when they
cite the 10 commandments, and it’s introduced in the text as follows: “and God
spoke all these words, saying…”
I am YHWH your God
First
Second There shall not be for you any
other gods before my face
TEN COMMANDMENTS
You will not make for yourself a
statue or any other image
You will not raise the name
YHWH for worthlessness
Third Remember the Sabbath day, to
sanctify it
Fourth Honor your father and your

mother
Fifth You will not murder
Sixth You will not commit adultery

Seventh You will not steal
Eight You will not testify against your
fellow as a lying witness
Ninth You will not covet your fellow’s
wife
Tenth You will not covet your fellow’s
household
Understanding some aspects of Ten commandments
There shall not be for you any other gods before my face
 The reason: YHWH is passionate

(“jealous” or “zealous” work as
translations for this word as well).
Beyond the plain meaning of this
prohibition, we are further reminded
here of a fundamental biblical
principle: justice works down through
the generations.
 Why obey this (or any) commandment? Because if you don’t, G

od may punish your great-grandchildren for your disobedience. A central aspect
of the decalog is corporate responsibility—over space and time. The community
is responsible for enforcing god’s laws among themselves, not only because they
want to continue to benefit from god’s commitment to the people in the present,
but because their actions have consequences for the continuity of their lineages.

but because their actions have consequences for the continuity of their lineages.
Remember the Sabbath day, to sanctify it
This one is interesting for a number of reasons.

Other ancient cultures prescribed rest days, usually
based on cycles of the moon, but the
Israelites instituted the seven-day week that
culminated with a mandatory rest day,
independently of lunar cycles. In other words: we
can thank ancient israel for the invention of
weekends.
Remember the Sabbath day, to sanctify it
 In Deuteronomy 5’s version of the decalogue, the

reason for all members of a household to cease their
labors on the seventh day is so that “your manservant
and your maidservant will rest, like you” (Deuteronomy
5:14)..
Honor your father and your mother
 Honor thy father and thy mother." Among all the commandments, this one only
has the additional words: "that thou mayest be long-lived upon the land." The
reason for this is lest it be thought that there is no reward for those who honor
their parents, seeing that it is a natural obligation. Hence it must be known that
five most desirable rewards are promised those who honor their parents.
THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT: "Thou Shalt Not Kill."
 In the divine law which tells us we must love god and our neighbor, it is
commanded that we not only do good but also avoid evil. The greatest evil
that can be done to one's neighbor is to take his life. This is prohibited in
the commandment: "thou shalt not kill."
THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT: "Thou Shalt Not Commit
Adultery."
 Adultery is forbidden both to the wife and the husband. We shall first
consider the adultery of the wife, since in this seems to lie the greater sin,
for a wife who commits adultery is guilty of three grave sins, which are
implied in the following words: "so every woman that leaveth her husband,
. . . first, she hath been unfaithful to the law of the most high; and
secondly, she hath offended against her husband; thirdly, she hath
fornicated in adultery, and hath gotten her children of another man."
THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT: "Thou Shalt Not Steal."
Forbids us to injure our neighbor in his goods. This commandment forbids any
worldly goods whatsoever to be taken away wrongfully.
Theft is committed by not paying wages that are due: "the wages of him that hath
been hired by thee shall not abide by thee until the morning. this means that a man
must pay every one his due, whether he be prince, prelate, or cleric, etc. Render
therefore to all men their dues. Tribute, to whom tribute is due, custom, to whom
custom. hence, we are bound to give a return to rulers who guard our safety.
THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT: "Thou Shalt Not Steal."
By the 7th Commandment we are commanded to respect what belongs to others, to live up to our
business agreements, and to pay our just debts.
 The 7th commandment applies the great commandments of love of God and neighbor by telling us to
respect the property of our neighbor.
 The 7th and the 10th commandments go together. The tenth makes it easy to keep the seventh by
telling us not even to desire the property of our neighbor.
 Remember Christ's warning on the danger of riches. Anyone who desires to be rich, that is, to have
more material possessions than he needs will find it hard to respect the property of their neighbor
and to let it alone. And the more we love the things of this earth, the harder we shall find it to love
God.
THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT: "thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor."
IN ordinary conversation one may violate this commandment in five ways.
The first is by detraction: "detractors, hateful to God."
"hateful to God" here indicates that nothing is so dear to a man as his good
name:
A good name is better than great riches. but detractors take away this good
name: "if a serpent bite in silence, he is no better that backbiting secretly.

therefore, if detractors do not restore this reputation, they cannot be saved.
THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT: "thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor."
The second is by telling lies, because a liar is as the son of the devil. Now, we
know that a man's speech betrays from what region and country he comes
from, thus: "even thy speech doth discover thee. even so, some men are of
the devil's kind, and are called sons of the devil because they are liars, since
the devil is "a liar and the father of lies.” thus, when the devil said, "no, you
shall not die the death, he lied. But, on the contrary, others are the children of
God, who is truth, and they are those who speak the truth

Summary Conclusion
Blessedness of Keeping God’s Commandments
The psalmist proclaims great blessing on the person who seeks to

know and walk in the law of God, even going so far as to assert that

shame.”
Write a 600 hundred words reflection in answering the following
questions which amplify the sabbath rest :

“servitude” is fend off by the biblical writers?
3. Why is the meaning of God resting on the seventh day of creation?
Summary Conclusion
God’s Ten Commandments
The ten commandments are eternal gospel principles that are necessary for
our exaltation. The lord revealed them to Moses in ancient times (see exodus
20:1–17), and they are also referenced in whole or in part in other books of
scripture (see Matthew 19:18–19; romans 13:9; mosiah 12:33–36; 13:13–24;
doctrine and covenants 42:18–29; 59:5–13; 63:61–62).
Summary Conclusion Ten Commandments

adultery
Seventh -You will not steal Theft is committed in a number of ways. First, by taking
stealthily: "if the goodman of the house knew at what hour
the thief would come."[2] this is an act wholly blameworthy
because it is a form of treachery. "Confusion . . . is upon the
thief."[3]
Eight -You will not testify against Now he forbids us to injure him by word. "Thou shalt not
your fellow as a lying witness bear false witness against thy neighbor."[1] this may occur
in two ways, either in a court of justice or in ordinary
conversation.
Ninth - You will not covet your Commandment prohibiting concupiscence of the flesh:
fellow’s wife "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife."[4]
Tenth - You will not covet your Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house."[2]
fellow’s household Here "house," signifying height, refers to avarice,
for "glory and wealth shall be in his house."[3]
This means that he who desires the house,
desires honors and riches.
