The Desire for Greatness

Today as we continue our series looking at the desires of every heart, we’re going to take time to recognize and satisfy our desire to be great. The desire to be great within the heart of man has produced tremendous and terrible things. It’s produced peace and war, advancement and destruction. And as we look at this desire today, I pray that God reveals the purity and power of it as well as his plans to satisfy it moment by moment, day by day. The main concept for this week is derived from The Seven Longings of the Human Heart by Mike Bickle and Deborah Hiebert.   Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 2:9, and today's worship is Firelight by Brother Isaiah. -- We are so excited to announce our very first First15 Kids Advent Devotional book, Jesus, the Light of the World.  And you can get a copy for your children or grandchildren today! Jesus, the Light of the World is a 25 day devotional written for young readers, ages 6-12. Intended to be started on December 1st, each day of this 25 day devotional includes scriptures, activities, and prayers to help growing believers learn how Jesus was the light that came to heal and save a hurting and broken world.  This resource is foundational, answering questions such as,  Who is Jesus? Why was Jesus born? How does it matter in my life today? “God is a good Father who gives good and perfect gifts. God is also a Father who speaks truth to us! When he tells us the truth, he wants us to trust and believe him even when it’s hard. When we trust God’s word even when it feels hard, it’s called faith. Faith is a gift God gives us, and the amazing thing is, we can always ask God for more.” Request your copy of First15’s new kids advent devotional, Jesus, the Light of the World, today by going to supportfirst15.org, and help your kids explore spending time with God each and every day!
