This sermon discusses the essence of godly leadership, emphasizing that it is no accident. Starting with the qualification of being above reproach, it delves into three critical aspects highlighted by Paul to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3: being a husband of one wife, being sober-minded, and being self-controlled. Drawing parallels to the 1986 Challenger disaster, the sermon illustrates the catastrophic potential of neglecting small but crucial details. By examining the importance of a faithful marriage, a vigilant life, and disciplined self-control, the speaker underscores intentionality as a foundational element in achieving godly leadership.
