    How God Defines Greatness (1 Samuel 18:5-16)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 27, 2024
     | 597 views

    The world defines greatness in terms of achievements and deeds, celebrated today and forgotten tomorrow. God defines greatness as how one lives his life. We see this in David as he continued to follow the will of the LORD.

    Greatness, according to the world's standards, is measured by things such as achievements, status, education, wealth, and individual or corporate contributions to society. While these traits are admirable, they can also be a source of pride, selfishness, self-centeredness, and arrogance. ...read more

    The Greatest Of These

     | 2,901 views

    Love is the very center of what it means to be a Christian. Nothing we do or have can replace it. Greater than faith, greater than hope, is love.

    Notice the five things here that are empty without love: Tongues, prophecy, faith, generosity, sacrifice. Not just any kind of tongues, prophecy, faith, generosity and sacrifice, but the ultimate kind. Tongues of men and of angels. Prophecy that fathoms all mystery and knowledge. Faith that can ...read more
