Lesson 1To Serve Is To Be Great

• And whoever has a desire to be first among you,
  let him take the lowest place. (Matthew 2027)
• Here is the secret to great leadership.
  Leadership is not about rulership. It is about
  serving others. And in giving to others you will
  never lack for any good thing in your life.

13
Lesson 2 There Is A Cure For Worry

• Then have no care for tomorrow tomorrow will
  take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day
  as it comes. (Matthew 634)
• To live a worry-free life is a joy. Anxiety is a
  killer.

14
Lesson 3 Love Conquers All

• And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your
  God with all your heart, and with all your soul,
  and with all your mind. This is the first and
  greatest rule. And a second like it is this, Have
  love for your neighbour as for yourself.
  (Matthew 2236-38)

15
Lesson 3 Love Conquers All

• When it comes to love we are given three
  directives Love God. Love your neighbour. Love
  your enemies.

16
Lesson 4 Follow The Golden Rule

• All those things, then, which you would have men
  do to you, even so do you to them because this
  is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 712)
• This is such a wonderful principle. Simply, do as
  you want to be done.

17
Lesson 5 Ask For What You Need

• Make a request, and it will be answered what
  you are searching for you will get give the
  sign, and the door will be open to you. (Matthew
  77)
• But ask, and in your asking expect to receive.

18
Lesson 6 Judge Not

• Be not judges of others, and you will not be
  judged. (Matthew 71)
• Point one finger in the direction of another in
  judgment and you have three pointing straight
  back at you. Not good. Resist the slippery slide
  towards judging others.

19
Lesson 7 Integrity

• But let your words be simply, Yes or No and
  whatever is more than these is of the Evil One
  (Matthew 537)
• This builds a depth of character in your being
  and trust from those around you.

20
Lesson 8 Give In Secret

• But when you give money, let not your left hand
  see what your right hand does (Matthew 63)
• There is nothing worse than someone blowing their
  own trumpet. Practice the art of giving in
  secret. Your reward will be great.

21
Lesson 9 Forgive Others

• For if you let men have forgiveness for their
  sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father
  in heaven. (Matthew 614)
• To forgive others is to free you from the
  disabling chains of unforgiveness.

22
Lesson 10 Nothing Is Impossible If You Have Faith

• And he says to them, Because of your little
  faith for truly I say to you, If you have faith
  as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this
  mountain, Be moved from this place to that and
  it will be moved and nothing will be impossible
  to you. (Matthew 1720)

23
Lesson 10 Nothing Is Impossible If You Have Faith

• Faith is a small word, but a powerful one at
  that. Faith is trust in a greater one than
  yourself, trust in the abilities that have been
  placed within you, and trust that with every step
  forward you will find your way towards your
  dreams and your goals.
