Serve: Serve Selflessly

What makes someone “great” today? Most people would say it’s about racking up followers, making bank, or getting your name out there. The bigger the platform, the better, right? But Jesus flips that whole idea upside down. As he walks with his disciples toward Jerusalem—toward the cross—he drops one final lesson: True greatness isn’t about status. It’s about serving. Think of it like when you stare at something bright for too long, and suddenly, you see its outline everywhere. That’s what Jesus was doing with his disciples—burning the image of the cross into their minds. And the more we fix our eyes on it, the more we start seeing it everywhere… especially in how we serve God and others. Our Scripture comes from Mark 9:30-10:45. For the message notes, click here.
