Synod Opening Service - Talk 1 - Roydon Frost (Tuesday 27 August 2024)

Christ Church Midrand

This sermon reflects on Christian leadership, focusing on the temptation to elevate leaders based on worldly standards such as charisma or power, instead of faithfulness to Christ. It draws from 1 Corinthians, challenging believers to evaluate leadership through biblical wisdom rooted in humility and godliness, rather than cultural success. The message also emphasizes the importance of holding fast to the gospel of Christ’s death and resurrection, which is of first importance. Christians are called to be steadfast, immovable, and abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that their labor is not in vain.
