7. I want you to imagine that your whole country has cast their vote for one of three candidates – and the votes are equal. Your vote will determine who is the leader of your country. Here are the three candidates – you must choose one.

8. Candidate A Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

13. “Don’t trip! He ain’t through with me yet.” -Steve Harvey
Steve Harvey recently did a standup comedy session at a large church in the US. He called his show: “Don’t trip! He ain’t through with me yet.” What a great statement.

14. We have been called to follow Jesus.

15. To be like Jesus.

16. And that means war – we end up in a battle and get injured sometimes.

17. Remember The Vision – it is an army of young people! An army!

18. An army that is disciplined
An army that is disciplined. They beat their bodies into submission – they are soldiers who would take a buller for one of the comrades.

19. They are willing to lay down their life for the cause
They are willing to lay down their life for the cause. They choose to lose so they can hear the “well done” message from Jesus.

20. At Inspired (The SCA at Greenside High) we are looking for leaders to lead our army – to become part of a leadership team that will develop what God is already doing. We are looking for young leaders with three qualities – (1) They can see the future – they are visionaries. They don’t just think about today – but they look into the future and dream a better tomorrow.

21. (2) They are able to share the vision with others – like the coach inspiriting the team in this picture.

22. (3) They are able to create and work with a team of others - They are not lone rangers – they involve people in the work.
