 THE
CHRISTIAN
LEADER
According to Mark Fillingham “Christian Leadership
springs from discipleship, is rooted in character,
centered in service, corporate in nature and must be
empowered and directed by the Holy Spirit. The
qualities of character of a Christian leader, as
indicated in I Timothy 3:1-15 and Titus 11:5-9:
THE CHRISTIAN LEADER
Above reproach ( I Timothy 3:2 )

Someone whose immaculate life attacks people to

Jesus. Just the sort of person that was chosen by the
early church ( Acts 6:3 ); people who were good
reputation and therefore trustworthy.

Husband of one wife ( I Timothy 3:2 )

This emphasis is not so much on whether his

relationship with opposite sex is above reproach.
Christian his leadership is costly and no Christian who
aspires to leadership can afford to heed worldly rather
than biblical attitudes to sex and sexual relationship.
THE CHRISTIAN LEADER
Temperate ( I Timothy 3:2 )

This is less a matter of moderation or lack of self-

indulgence but more than of having clear perspective.
Walking in the light of God, rather than the darkness of
men, gives a wholly different perspective on matters,
to the world are of vital importance. The Christian
leader should be led and influenced by those things on
which Gods places high priority.

Prudent ( I Timothy 3:2 )

Prudent is a key characteristic of maturity and is

related to good judgment, which is at a premium in all
kinds of leadership. Prudence starts with a clear
appreciation of one`s own worth, balanced by a
healthy complete dependence on God
THE CHRISTIAN LEADER
Respectable ( I Timothy 3:2 )
Literally one whose behavior, lifestyle, appearance,
and attitudes command respect even from those who
do not share his Christian commitment.

Hospitable ( I Timothy 3:2 )

A practical sphere in which the love of the leader is
demonstrated sacrificially. It should be recognized that
this is not limited to married people; single Christians
can demonstrate practical loving care in hospitality
both to other singles and to couples.

Able to teach ( I Timothy 3:2 )

The overflow of `teachableness`. There is a strong link

between teaching and leading (Timothy 5:17 & 1
Thessalonians 5:12 where individually applied and
corrective teaching is embraced in `admonishing`),
Christians can demonstrate practical loving care in
hospitality both to other singles and to couples’
THE CHRISTIAN LEADER
Not addicted to wine ( I Timothy 3:3 )
This not a command to total abstinence but rather that
nothing should have the sort of hold on us that alcohol
has for the drunkard; sports, hobbies, or work even,
can demand and gradually achieve too high a place in
our time and attention.

Not self-willed ( I Titus I:7 )

To be self-willed is to be unsubmissive Self-will leads
to self-pleasing, vanity and pride.

Not quick-tempered ( Titus I:7 )

“The fruit of the spirit is… long temperedness” –

people and situations that confront the Christian leader
will frequently impose frustration. Only a Christ-like
response will achieve Christ-like outcome.
THE CHRISTIAN LEADER
Not pugnacious ( Titus I:7 )
This refers not only to physical violence but also to
verbal violence ( gossip, bitter criticism , etc.). We are
blessed, according to Jesus, when people maltreat us
for His sake, so we have no need to respond
aggressively. If we are tempted to be pugnacious for
any other reason, it is an almost certain sign of sin in
ourselves.

Uncontentious ( I Timothy 3:3 )

This is vital to corporate leadership. Some who are

successful leaders in professions, where they always
have the final say, revert to being quarrelsome when
placed in a team. No one has monopoly of God`s
knowledge and wisdom.
