“Greatness” as defined by Jesus
What’s the highest place you’ve ever been (either literally or figuratively)?
What stood out to you most from the message?
Think of someone in your life who’s led you well. What made them different?
Read Mark 9:33-35 Where do you see yourself in the disciples?
Where in your life are you putting yourself first? Where in your life are you putting yourself last?
Jesus’ teachings on leadership can be difficult to accept or embrace. What about them challenges you?
What’s one way you can bring yourself lower this week?
Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “Jesus, thank you for your leadership. Thank you for bringing yourself low for us. Inspire us to do the same. Help us serve the people around us. Amen."
