Noah preaches from Mark 9 about the disciples arguing over greatness and reframes what it means to be "great" in God's kingdom. He argues that the desire to be great is not sinful, but the world's definition (status, wealth, fame) is distorted. True greatness, Jesus teaches, is service - being last and a servant of all - and must be done with humility and the example of Christ in mind. Practical application includes using your gifts to serve (Romans 12:6), adopting a humble attitude (1 Peter 5:5), and being motivated to serve because Jesus first served and humbled himself (Philippians 2).
“Summary of Philippians 2: Jesus humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death on a cross - that example is our why for serving and humility.” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Practical next steps: look for ways to serve regularly (not just occasionally) and serve with a grateful, humble attitude rather than a grudging one. Identify your God-given gifts (Romans 12:6) and use them to add value to others. If you want a concrete next step at this church, attend the Way Track after the third service (30-40 minutes) to find a serving role.
