CONNECTING FIELDVIEW - Room To Lead - Exodus 18:13-27

Main Idea: The story of Moses’ Father-In-Law dropping a wisdom bomb right in the middle of the Israelite infrastructure is an incredible moment not only in the life of Moses’ leadership, but also in the life of each Hebrew that were following his leadership, and there is a ton we can learn from this story on so many levels.  You’ve heard the expression, “IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT, YOU’VE GOT TO DO IT YOURSELF.”  I understand this statement, and honestly can often relate to it.  But nobody ever changed the world with this attitude…except Jesus.  And we are not Him.  Jethro admonished his Son-In-Law to stop trying to be everything and to empower leaders under him to take significant tasks and in so doing widen his reach and lengthen his leadership.  This is what we aim to do at Fieldview.  We are constantly looking for leaders to entrust significant tasks to to widen our reach and lengthen our run.  In doing so, I believe there will be more people in heaven when we hold loosely the responsibilities that God has given us constantly empowering new leaders and delegating to them significant tasks so that the work outlives all of us!!
