Practical Training for Christian Leaders

Taking on a leadership role in Christian ministry is never easy. Whether you are leading a small group, teaching a Sunday school class, serving as a missionary, or pastoring a church… establishing deep roots in God’s Word is essential to serving effectively and glorifying the Lord.

Open the Bible for Leaders is free video-based training designed to equip all kinds of leaders with a solid biblical foundation and practical guidance for establishing fruitful gospel ministry for the long haul. Whatever your leadership role within your church, these materials can equip, refresh and inspire you in your ministry. They are designed to work well for groups of leaders and can also benefit individuals.

"I’m so blessed by these courses. I am much more equipped now than I was just a couple of weeks ago. I will certainly be using the wisdom and notes to help equip others. Every church leader should take these courses!"

"I am blown away by the detail in the lessons and the questions asked afterward. I have pages and pages of notes that I am going to be looking at for a long time. I have already told all of my close friends about this. I also cannot believe that this is free!"

"Pastor Colin’s Bible teaching was a rich experience for my team of Youth for Christ volunteers in Sri Lanka. Everyone was challenged greatly especially in the area of godliness. I heartily recommend this resource."

“Colin Smith's 'Watch Your Life' training helped me to slow down and to savor the gospel and to further work out gospel implications in my life and ministry.”

"This video series will sharpen your understanding of core doctrines of the Christian faith, equip you to think critically and wisely about ministry, and deepen your love for the Lord."

“Pastor Colin did a marvelous job of summarising the Bible and it helped me see the big picture. I feel an overwhelming love and joy for Christ. I just want to shout it from the mountaintop! It makes me want to read the Bible from cover to cover.”

Module Summary

Learn foundational truths to help you obey the command to watch your life closely (1 Timothy 4:16).

Module Description

Leadership in the church is a high privilege and a great responsibility. The church belongs to Jesus Christ. He purchased it with His precious blood. If you aspire to be a leader, the Bible says you aspire to a noble task.

Leaders in the church can do great good. They can also do great harm. That’s why Paul urges Timothy, a young leader in the church, to watch his life closely (1 Timothy 4:16).

In this foundational module, Pastor Colin Smith explains what it means to watch your life and how you can do it.
