Title: Being Number One โ
Theme: Becoming a Person of Service and Sacrifice (while taking care of yourself too!)
๐ Sermon Scripture: Matthew 20:20-28, 1 Peter 4:7-11; 1 Corinthians 12:31b-13:13, Philippians 2:1-11
Key Verses: 1 Corinthians 12:31b, โAnd I will show you a still more excellent way.โ
Being number one in the world's eyes means something very different to what Jesus meant when He talked about being the greatest. ๐
The world teaches us to dominate, control, manipulate, and insist our way to the top to be successful. Often, we translate these same twisted teachings into our relationships, becoming that controlling spouse, demanding friend, difficult sibling, or unwanted neighbor or coworker. ๐ต
As Paul once wrote, โNow I will show you a still more excellent wayโฆโ So, let us look to the teachings of Jesus for our understanding of greatness! ๐
