The late 1980s saw the downfall of televangelists to sex, money, power and fame.

Leaders are to reflect righteous standards in a world that can be hostile toward Christianity. Church leaders are role models. If they cannot live the standards of Scripture, how can other Christians? To illustrate this point, play a game of Simon Says. Have everyone do different motions. Emphasize that leaders are role models— especially church leaders. The Pastor and Leadership of the church will influence the priorities and habits of the congregation they lead.
