Great Servant - Mark 10:41-45

1. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be great

Jesus didn’t confront their desire to be great, only their method

2. Greatness comes through being a servant

Your greatness in the Kingdom is only limited by your willingness to be a slave to all!

Selfless Servant - Philippians 2:5-7

1. Jesus set the pace for us by becoming a servant. He made himself nothing and had a lot further to go to become nothing than we do!

Questions

• What are you making of yourself?
• How much does “self” matter to you?
• How much does “self” influence your daily decision?

2. Self-denial is the essence of service

Luke 9:23 - Must deny self daily - deny self = denying feelings

Key Phrase: How much does self matter to you?
