How do you define greatness? So often we value the impressive over the impactful, but that’s not what made Jesus the G.O.A.T. In week 3 of the King & A Kingdom series, Ayren Nelson shares a radical perspective on greatness that makes us rethink what it means to serve and be served.

Message Notes:

What does it mean to be a true servant? 

In our culture, we often value the impressive over the impactful.

Jesus invites us all into a Kingdom where anyone and everyone can be great, but the paradigm is different than what we might imagine.

 Matthew 20:20-21 (NLT)

 Matthew 20:22b (NLT)

 Matthew 20:18-19a (NLT)

Jesus’ invitation to follow Him is an invitation to join Him in suffering for the sake of others.

James and John as well as the other disciples want to be part of the imagined glory of the new Kingdom, never understanding the suffering it involves.

 Matthew 20:24 (NLT)

 Matthew 20:25b (NLT)

 Matthew 20:26-27 (NLT)

Jesus is telling them that the way to become great is to SERVE.

Am I a Servant?

Jesus tells us how we are to serve.

 Matthew 6:1-4 (NLT)

 Selflessly

Service to others is an act of worship to God.

 Matthew 25:34-40 (NLT)

Serve everyone everywhere.

Jesus models for us what it means to be a true servant.

 Philippians 2:5-8 (NLT)
