The 5Cs of Leadership series Pastor Josh did complete
Leaders help others at home, the office, or on the street
He summarised the confidence and connections content
Add competence and character and finally commitment
In Second Timothy chapter four, in apostle Paul's last letter
How to finish life’s journey well could not be said any better
To his spiritual son he did in verses three to five summarise
Be sober minded, endure suffering, and always evangelise
Paul was near his own life's end, having fought the good fight
He wanted to make sure Timothy kept the end goal in sight
The first of four keys is to look to heaven, Josh did say
For what echoes in eternity is what we do on earth today
Per Matthew six, our hearts will be where our treasure is
So we cannot retire from life even when we retire from biz
In Second Corinthians five, Paul advises us on how to live
Our aim is to please God, so we should love and forgive
To look to Jesus was the second point Pastor Josh did make
He is the perfecter of our faith, from Hebrews twelve we take
Using Jesus’ example, we should not be weary or faint of heart
Remembering his sacrifice on the cross can help us do our part
Per Romans twelve, we present our bodies as living sacrifices
To persevere, we must listen to God instead of our own devices
The third point raised by Pastor Josh was to look to others
For we are all one body of Christ, both sisters and brothers
We need other people as we each have a different talent
Trying to do everything by yourself is quite far from gallant
Importantly, we must think of others in order to finish well
Unlike Hezekiah, as Isaiah in chapter thirty nine did tell
The fourth and final point is to look to the next generation
Our destiny is about who we invest in, per Josh's summation
Teary received a very short mention in Genesis chapter eleven
But it was his son Abraham received a covenant from heaven
Josh concluded by referring to Proverbs thirteen twenty two
Leaving an inheritance for the future is what we should do
