Introduction:  A good desire (I Timothy 3:1) and a difficult dilemma (Hebrews 11:39; Matthew 23:8-12)

Focus:  The example of Moses in the Book of Exodus

Three ways God shapes us into leaders for His church—

#1  Reality—we hurt so badly we have to change—Exodus 2:11-15, 23. 

#2  Relationships—we learn a lesson from someone we love—Exodus 18:9-19, 24.

#3  Revelation—we receive spiritual insight from God—Exodus 19:1-6, 8.
