Sermon Title: Transformational Leadership and Hearing God’s Mission Across Generations**

#### **Introduction**
Brothers and sisters in Christ, today we gather to reflect on the profound lessons from the lives of Abraham, Moses, David, Isaac, and Solomon. These great leaders of the Bible not only followed God’s calling but transformed their communities and nations. Their obedience and faith left a legacy that spanned generations, and their stories are relevant to us as we seek to transform our church, community, and the world.

We will also explore how their examples inspire us to fulfill our missions at the **Global Jesus Mission Church**, **Meridian Wish Foundation**, and **Meridian University**, where we focus on empowering business owners, job creation, and transforming our communities. Let us also reflect on a renewed political vision for leadership that aligns with God’s purpose for our generation and beyond.

#### **Abraham: Leadership Rooted in Faith**
Abraham, the father of faith, obeyed God even when the destination was unclear (Genesis 12:1-4). His willingness to leave his homeland and trust God was a testament to bold leadership. Abraham built a foundation for generations, becoming the patriarch of a nation.

- **Lesson for Us:** As leaders in our families, churches, and communities, we must step out in faith to embrace God's promises. Through our initiatives like the **Meridian Wish Foundation** and **Global Jesus Mission Church**, we encourage leaders to trust God’s provision as they create businesses and jobs that uplift communities.

#### **Moses: Leadership Through Deliverance**
Moses was called to deliver Israel from slavery and lead them to the Promised Land. Despite his initial doubts, he leaned on God for strength and guidance, performing miracles and delivering God’s law (Exodus 3:1-12).

- **Lesson for Us:** Like Moses, we are called to be deliverers in our generation. Through programs like the **Meridian Wish Foundation**, we support business owners, entrepreneurs, and job creation, setting people free from poverty and unemployment. The **Global Jesus Mission Church** seeks to lead people from spiritual bondage into the light of Christ.

#### **David: Leadership in Worship and Courage**
David, the shepherd-king, exemplified leadership through his courage and heart of worship. As a young man, he defeated Goliath with faith, and as king, he unified Israel and brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, prioritizing God’s presence (1 Samuel 17, 2 Samuel 6:12-15).

- **Lesson for Us:** Leadership requires courage and a heart centered on God. In politics and the church, we must model David’s boldness in the face of challenges and prioritize worship in all we do. **Global Jesus Mission Church** aims to foster worship and leadership to transform communities and bring people closer to God.

#### **Isaac: Hearing and Obeying God's Voice**
Isaac demonstrated obedience and trust in God’s provision. He reopened the wells of his father Abraham, symbolizing a continuation of God’s covenant (Genesis 26:18-25).

- **Lesson for Us:** Hearing God’s mission involves honoring the past while seeking His guidance for the future. In our church and universities, we emphasize listening to God’s voice to transform businesses, families, and communities.

#### **Solomon: Wisdom for Kingdom Building**
Solomon asked God for wisdom, not riches or power, and became the wisest king. His leadership led to Israel’s greatest prosperity and the building of the Temple (1 Kings 3:4-15).

- **Lesson for Us:** As leaders, we must seek wisdom to build a kingdom that reflects God’s glory. Through the **Global Jesus Mission Church** an
