Toxic leadership practices are a common problem in the church today as those who have been listening to the “Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” podcast have learned. In this sermon we look at three stories in Moses’ life from the book of Numbers to derive some principles of what Spirit filled leadership looks like. The hope is to find a better way of being leaders in the church and to discover what traits we should look for in those in authority in our churches.
