Running on Empty

We all want to be great. Whether we admit it or not, there’s something in us that wants to rise above, to be seen, to matter. In Mark 9, the disciples finally say it out loud: “Who is the greatest?” Instead of shutting the question down, Jesus redefines it. In this message, we’ll see how our pursuit of greatness gets hijacked, why it ultimately leaves us empty, and how Jesus reveals a better way: not through climbing higher, but through descending in love, service, and ultimately the cross.
