Read: Acts 7:54-8:1; Romans 8:1-2; I Corinthians 2:1-5 Things a Leader Forgets
1. Forget Your Failures
2. Forget Your Old Hurts
3. Forget Your Ego
We will compare three passages from the life of the Apostle Paul (Saul). His mission was to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the gentile world. God used him to change our world over the last 2000 years. Now that is leadership.
We can learn from the things Paul forgets. He affirmed the murder of Stephen and had to work past the remembrance of his involvement.
Paul was persecuted and shutout from old friends and life long goals. Learning to forgive and forget allowed him to move forward into grace.
I also believe Paul was able to lay aside his ego that he talked the talk but his ego was always in the foreground of his work) and focus only on Jesus Christ. Some pastors and theologians argue this point, but they mistake ego for confidence in Christ.
Paul learned to forget and became an amazing leader.
