Treeline Church
Speaker: David Livingston

Summary
Jesus redefines greatness not as power and authority, but as humble service. Through Mark 10:35-45, the pastor shows that true greatness—exemplified by Christ's sacrifice on the cross—is found in serving others, even when it exposes and humbles us.
Highlights
Jesus isn't at war with our obsession with greatness. He's at war with our definition of it.
I love the idea of serving others. I love the idea of it. But I hate when anyone treats me like a servant.
Those who can't be served by Jesus in this low and humiliating way will never be able to serve others when it leads them to a similar place.
