Redefining Greatness Through Hidden Humility
If you've ever equated greatness with recognition, influence, or being noticed—even subtly—this message invites you to see Jesus' definition of greatness in a completely different light.
Sermon Description
What if everything you've been taught about greatness needs to be turned upside down?
In this two-part message from Mark 9, Jesus radically redefines what it means to be great in the kingdom of God. Instead of pointing to visibility, influence, or recognition, He calls His followers to humility, hidden service, and a seriousness about holiness that challenges modern assumptions about faith and success.
Across both episodes, Jesus confronts our desire to be seen and our tendency to tolerate quiet compromise. He exposes how our lives influence others—often more than we realize—and why true discipleship requires both humble service and decisive obedience.
This message invites you to consider whether your faith is shaped more by cultural definitions of success or by the quiet, costly way of the cross.
Scripture: Mark 9:30-50
