Every year for 37 years I have taught a “Men’s Leadership Class”. It starts in September and ends towards the end of May. We meet every Saturday night for one hour from 5:30 to about 6:30 pm. I teach principles on how the men in the class can be leaders in their families, at work, and in our church. I have a lecture each week, the men read 50 pages in assigned books, they listen to sermons on their smart phones, they write personal goals, and do other assignments. The goal that I have for the men each year is that they would lead their families well as the spiritual leader, that they would take over leadership of ministries in the church that already exist or that they would start, and that they would be a bright light of influence in their neighborhoods and at their work places and attract people to faith in Christ. At the end of the 9 month class each man preaches a 10 to 15 minute sermon at one of our services. Tonight 4 of this years class preached and tomorrow the rest of the guys will preach. The guys tonight did incredibly well. It is so encouraging to see and hear men who are sold out for Jesus and willing to pay a price to serve him. I am looking forward to tomorrow with great anticipation. As a pastor my greatest sense of accomplishment comes from teaching this class each year.
