    Good morning, family! Today, we're diving into the heart of Mark 10, verses 32-45, where Jesus teaches His disciples about service.

    As Christians, we are called to a life of humility and service, not seeking worldly power or glory, but following the example of Jesus who came not to be served, but to serve.

    Good morning, Church family! Today, we're diving into a passage that might just step on our toes a little, but it's an important one. It's about our desire for security, the danger of pride, and the call to serve. You see, we live in a world where security is equated with success and power. But as ...read more

    Contributed by Kelly Benton on Jan 5, 2026
     | 156 views

    Jesus — the Savior of the world — modeled the ultimate servant life. Which means if we’re following Him, serving isn’t an option.

    Mark 10:42-45 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever ...read more

    What Do You Want? Mark 10:32-52 If you had the chance to see Jesus in the flesh, and He asked you “What do you want me to do for you?”, what would you ask for?

    Jesus isn’t saying that ambition is a bad thing, or that they/we shouldn’t aspire to be great. He’s telling them/us that true greatness is something else.

    Ann Henderson came home from her doctor’s appointment looking much the same as usual. Maybe she was a little quieter, but not enough to cause comment.

    The more we have humility, and we are serving others the more we are like Christ. The places of honor in Christi’s kingdom are not reserved for those who seek it selfishly.

    In our passage the disciples are sensing Jesus’ time has come. They know Jesus is the anointed Messiah and now they are arguing who will sit in Jesus’ right and left when his kingdom is established. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to ...read more

    Glory Of Christian Leadership

    Many people treated Jesus like a celebrity as they followed Him from place to place, listened to His teaching, observed His miracles, and sought healing from His touch. Yet Jesus was never self-important or aloof, but available to all.

    Opening illustration: In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, it isn’t surprising that entrepreneurs are marketing “celebrities as products … allowing them to sell their personal time and attention.” Vauhini Vara’s article in The New Yorker noted that for $15,000, you can have a personal meeting ...read more

    This is the last section of Mark before the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Mark gives us a picture of Jesus on the road to Jerusalem with courage and determination. Along the road to Jerusalem we learn lessons about greatness and service.

    Introduction: A. If you would humor me, I’d like to start with a little bit of “road” humor. 1. Why did the chicken cross the road? I don’t know, why? I don’t know—I asked you first! 2.

    Following Christ isn't glamorous. It is hard, but it is worth it.

    “Come! Be Crucified! We’ve Got a Cross for Your Back Too” Mark 10:35-45 Have you ever seen a church sign that read, “Come! Be Crucified! We’ve got a Cross for Your Back Too!” And yet Jesus was this up-front. You can’t accuse Jesus of false advertising. When James and John come up to Jesus ...read more

    Servant leadership. Blah-blah-blah. and so on; and so forth.

    One of the two major parties has made abortion this voting cycle their preeminent priority. Let's look at the morality behind that divide.

    There is something almost humorous in today’s Gospel pericope. The story has come down to us in two versions. Both place this incident right after Jesus predicted His passion and death for the third time. St. Matthew’s original version pictures Salome, mother of James and John, making the request. ...read more
