Baptism Sunday – I Am Allowed to be Great

I Am Allowed to be Great Jesus once said that among those born of women, no one was greater than John the Baptist. But what made him so great? It wasn’t status, his success, his boldness, his baptizing, or his camel-hair fashion—it was that he faithfully pointed others to Jesus. In this sermon, we explore Luke 7 and what it truly means to live a life that directs people to Christ. Is it possible that there’s a deeper level of purpose and power available in your walk with God? Tune in and discover how greatness is defined in the Kingdom.  John 7:18-28 Discussion topics Have you ever been disappointed in God?  John the Baptist knew Jesus personally and still had doubts while in prison. What does this tell us about faith during hard seasons?  Read Luke 7:18-28 - Jesus comforted John by pointing to the evidence of His work—healing, deliverance, good news. What “evidence” do you see of Jesus working in your life or around you right now?  What does Jesus’ statement—“among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he”—mean to you?  John’s entire life pointed people to Jesus. In what ways can your life and words do the same?  What are some practical ways we can avoid becoming “offended” at Jesus when life doesn’t go as expected?  Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next
