Listen "The King is Here: Greatness"
Episode Synopsis
This last Sunday one of our elders, Austin Smith, taught on what it means to be great in the Kingdom.
In Luke 9v43-62 we get a glimpse into the hearts of Jesus’ disciples. While they have seen many miracles and walked with Jesus, they are still operating out of insecurity and pride. It’s a Genesis 3 problem - choosing to define greatness apart from God. And it’s why we still try to find significance from our externals: job, relationships, ministry.
Jesus is our ultimate example of what greatness looks like in the Kingdom. Because He knew His identity, He was able to serve others without needing recognition.
God calls us to love Him by serving others in this way, and we can only do it when we get all our value from the Cross.
