Mark 10:32-45

from Ascend Bible Church

Everyone wants to be great. Whether it’s in sports, business, social media, or politics, our culture defines greatness by power, position, and recognition. But in Mark 10:32–45, Jesus flips the script.As He walks toward the cross, Jesus teaches His disciples (and us) that true greatness in the kingdom of God is not about climbing higher—it’s about stooping lower. It’s not about asserting power and control, but sacrificially serving others.In this message, we’ll explore:The world’s definition of greatness: power, status, and control.Jesus’ definition of greatness: humility and service.How Jesus demonstrated true greatness by giving His life as a ransom for many.If you’ve ever struggled with ambition, comparison, or the craving for recognition, this passage redefines what it means to “be great.”📖 Scripture: Mark 10:32–45🎯 Big Idea: Greatness in the kingdom of God is demonstrated through sacrificially serving others, not through asserting power and control.👉 If this message encourages you, make sure to subscribe, share it with a friend, and check out more at ascendbible.church.
