    Looking Out For #1

    Contributed by Mark Eberly on Mar 17, 2008
     | 1,945 views

    We have this tendency to be selfish--to look out for #1--me, me, me. The true #1 is God and God’s ways. Jesus shows that making God #1 means not thinking we are better than others. John 13 (foot washing) is a beautiful expression of this.

    Looking Out for Number One March 16, 2008 Matthew 21: 1-11; John 13 Part One (kid’s sermon) Let me tell you about the most memorable day of my life. There I was living this average conditions with no one recognizing my worth. No one really could see the great potential that I had when suddenly ...read more

    "There is none greater than John the Baptist," says Jesus. "Notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he" (Matthew 11:11).

    LOOK WE FOR ANOTHER? Matthew 11:2-15. 1. “Are You He that should come, or look we for another?” (Matthew 11:3).
