📖 Lesson Summary:
In this lesson, Michael Brodeur discusses how leadership is directly connected to submission to divine authority. Leaders cannot operate independently—they must be rooted in God’s leadership.
Brodeur walks through Jesus’ Upper Room Discourse (John 14-17), where Jesus equips His disciples for leadership by instructing them to stay connected to the Father. The lesson highlights that leaders who refuse to be led will always operate with limitations, whereas those who submit to God’s authority walk in divine strength and wisdom.
📖 Scripture Focus:
“Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” — John 15:4
Key Takeaways:
✅ Effective leadership requires submission to divine authority—we must be led before we can lead.
✅ Jesus modeled submission to the Father—leaders must cultivate humility and obedience.
✅ Supernatural guidance is essential—the Holy Spirit leads us into wisdom, truth, and bold action.
