Don't get into a rut!

Acts 16:6-10

1. What made Paul an effective leader?

Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

Therefore, Paul's sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and the visions from God made him an effective leader.

2 Corinthians 11:20-30

2. What made Paul an understanding leader?

Paul, though have gone through trials even facing deaths many times, he has kept his faith and strength from the Lord. He boasts in his weakness because God gives the strength to go through all the tribulations.
