Face to Face: the Leadership Lessons Inspired by Moses

Vinnie Venturella

Description

A man of destiny, Moses was born to lead a nation through impossible situations, despite not starting his primary mission for eighty years. Leaders and leadership are found everywhere, past and present. There are great examples everywhere you look, if you know what to look for. There are differences as well as commonalities in all leaders that we study. Moses is a phenomenal example to learn from. He is one of the most-mentioned characters in the Old and New Testaments. God held Moses in the highest regard, over all other prophets, and he was the only prophet to speak to God face-to-face. Born in the most inauspicious of environments, under a death warrant by Pharaoh, raised as an Egyptian for his first forty years. Then Moses escaped to the furnace of the Midian wilderness where I believe his leadership, character, and humility were honed for his God-given mission that would last the rest of his lifetime. His final forty years was as unquestioned leader of the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage to the precipice of the promised land. Studying the inspired leadership lessons of a man who lived one hundred and twenty years is as formidable as it is thrilling. This journey will be enlightening, exciting, and energizing.

Conclusion
Acknowledgments
I want to thank Connie Freriks and her son Rex for all their help editing my books over the years – this is just the latest example. I use a lot of different sources for my books and one that I used for this project is located at https://www.conniessundayschoollessons .com/ .
This is from the home page of this site, and written by Rex. I share verbatim:
For over half a century (yes, you read that right) my mother has taught Sunday school at our small church. One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in Romans 12 is teaching, and she certainly has been anointed with that gift. She has always had a place in her heart for the importance of teaching God’s word to help us grow as Christians. I am thankful for my late brother Kevin who had the foresight to record many of her lessons. I am grateful for my best friend Danny who encouraged me to put these recorded lessons on the internet. This website is a way to honor my mother and to help others grow from spiritual milk as a child to spiritual meat for the mature as the Bible says in Hebrews 5. The Bible says in James 3:1 “Not many of you should become teachers for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness”. I think you will find listening to these lessons that my mother passes said judgment as teacher with high marks. I recommend using external speakers on your computer to listen as the level of sound on many lessons is not very st rong.
Thank you, Connie, for being a teacher of the Word and for teaching me as well.
Foreword
You can read this book cover to cover or you can jump around to the various lessons. I think you will get the most out of it if you also read the scripture that I used as the backdrop of the lesson. Either way, I hope you enjoy this book. These are lessons I was inspired to write using Moses’ life from Exodus through Deuteronomy in order as the referenced scripture is found. Moses was one of the greatest leaders of all time. Admittedly, some of these lessons have nothing to do with being a Christian per se. But that’s not the point of the book. I want you to embrace the ‘leadership’ lesson gleaned from Moses’ life and actions. All of my scriptural references use the New International Version (NIV).
Because I have a ‘day’ job, I am bound by a very strict code of ethics and I have rules I must follow to be compliant with any conflicts of interest in my writing which is an outside business activity. As such, you’ll see me NOT reference people by name or reference very specific details about the examples I use in the leadership lessons. The lesson can still be gleaned, while at the same time allow me to exceed my employer’s expectations.
The world is always in need of strong leadership and strong leaders. I hope you get a lot out of the book, put into practice some of these lessons, and use it in your own and others’ leadership journeys. Thank you.
