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

    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

    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

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 540 views

    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

    Our look at the twelve apostles continues with the “ inner circle”, or most notable in the Scriptures due to their words and work.

    The list of the twelve ordinary men commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel always lists Simon Peter as the first due to his character, his devotion to Jesus, and was given the task of being the leader of the twelve and be both the pastor and teacher to the “ sheep” and “lambs” ...read more
