Hebrews 13:7, 17
7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider their way of life, and imitate their faith.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Notes from the Lesson
Three Questions of Followership:
1 Whose faith are you imitating?
2 Are you willing to submit to someone else?
3 Are you a joy to lead?
A Call to Imitate:
1 Corinthians 11:1 - "Be imitators of me, just as I imitate Christ."
It is beneficial to have people in our lives whose faith we can imitate.
Jesus Learned Obedience:
Hebrews 5:8 - “Although Jesus was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.” Obedience and submission are learned behaviors.
The Whole of Christianity:
The whole of Christianity is about learning to surrender and yield every aspect of your life – every part of it – all of it – to the lordship of Jesus Christ. That’s what the Christian faith is all about.
The Followership Continuum:
The Hebrew writer makes a continuum for following leaders. On one side of the continuum is joy and on the other side of the continuum is burden.

Discussion Questions
1. Who are some people who you have imitated in your life (in any aspect of life)? Who are two or three people whose faith you imitate? What is it about their faith that you imitate?
2. Are you willing to submit to someone else? Can you think of a time when it was hard to submit to someone else? What made it so difficult? Can you think of a time when it was a good thing to submit to someone else? What made it good?
3. Where might you place yourself on the followership continuum? Can you think of an example when you or another person was a joy to lead? Can you think of an example when you or another person was a burden to lead?
4. Spend some time praying for the shepherd nomination process at Southside. Pray specifically for the Lord to bless our church family with a spirit of followership.
