Introduction

Servant leadership is a set practices and philosophy that helps people to create good

organization and play a significant impact in changing the world (Greenleaf, 2020). Being a

servant leader, a person must be a servant at first. The person must have the desire and ability to

serve the people and must embrace the concept of timeless. When a person decides to serve, the

aim is to bring change in the community and change people's lives (Greenleaf, 2020). For

example, Jesus Christ is a servant leader to Christians because, in Matthew 20:28, Jesus discloses

that the son of man was not sent to earth to be served by people but to offer services to the

people. The son of man should sacrifice his life for the betterment of the others

willingness and ability of services to the people must be witnessed since leadership is a natural

feeling; thus, people choose to be leaders (Greenleaf, & Spears, 2002). Being a servant, a leader

must not be driven by any materialistic gain, but the desire is to put the people's will and needs

first. On the other hand, from a biblical perspective, God expects leaders to use the powers to

serve the book. For example, the book of exodus 18:21, which states, "But select capable men

from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint

them as officials over thousands, hundreds, the fifties and tens." It shows that people to be

chosen as leaders must portray certain characteristics because they will be role models. That is

why church elders must show moral value in and out of the church.

Furthermore, Greenleaf's leadership is all about persuasion, conceptualizing, empathy,

growth of the people, foresight, and awareness. On the other hand, biblical leadership
