3. Servant leaders give up personal rights to find greatness in service to others (Mark 10:41-45)
4. Servant leaders can risk serving others because they trust that God is in control of their lives (John 13:3)
5. Servant leaders take up Jesus' towel of servant hood to meet the needs of others (John 13:4-11)
6. Servant leaders share their responsibility and authority with others to meet a greater need (Acts 6:1-6)
7. Servant leaders multiply their leadership by empowering others to lead (Exodus 18:17-23)
