The sixth session, presented by Mike Davies, emphasises that we need to ensure we are adequately prepared each time we get together. We need to spend time before God praying for the people and hearing what He wants to do, and following the Holy Spirit as He leads.

In this session, Mike Davies encourages us to be ready and willing to run, be easily steered, and raise other people to be the same. Do we encourage an environment where there is a priesthood of all believers and create a safe place for them to step out?

In this session, Mike Davies helps us weigh up the difference between peacemaking and peacekeeping – and the importance this plays in community unity. He looks at handling difficult conversations, bringing the truth in love, and dealing with the reaction thereafter.

In this session, Mike Davies reminds us that it is our responsibility to teach people to obey Jesus and hear His voice for themselves.

In the first session of the Community Leaders Training, Mike Davies emphasises the importance and value of community as a place where every person is being looked after spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially.

In this session of the Community Leaders Training series, Mike Davies reminds us of the Roman Centurion, who understood the concept of delegated authority. Authority and responsibility are two sides of the same coin; we need to understand the authority we carry and how to carry it. We need to represent Jesus and the elders to carry true spiritual authority.

In this session, Mike Davies look at the health of communities. If we want truly healthy communities, then we need to be willing to reveal our weaknesses. Acts 2v42-47 shows us what a healthy community looks like – we can use this passage to audit ourselves and see where we need to change.

To find the heart behind community groups, Mike Davies explains that we should be looking to see people meeting together daily, doing life together, not simply attending meetings. Such communities are the basic building blocks of a healthy church.

The fourth session of Community Leaders training, presented by Mike Davies, establishes that there aren’t always rules to how big or small communities should be. Instead, he emphasises the importance of ensuring that it is a place where people are effectively discipled.

Helping community leaders to steer with discernment, Mike Davies explains that we as leaders should be doing most of the discipleship and should be the greatest influence on believers’ lives, helping them navigate around poor influences and decisions.
