    Disciples Contend For Greatness

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 14, 2012
     | 5,190 views

    There never was a greater pattern for humility than Jesus, and there was never a greater preacher of it, than Jesus. On several occasions, He had talked to his disciples and followers about it. I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these

    Capernaum (53) Disciples Contend for Greatness Matthew 18:1-10 A LITTLE CHILD BECOMES AN OBJECT LESSON: At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    An Itch In The Middle Of Your Back

    Young people are often an "inconvenience" to those of us in the church. We want to do ministry to and with children and youth, but we do not want to neglect what we think is really important- the adults.

    A great way to Christ is to see the world through the eyes of young people. Too often, young people are like an itch in the middle of your back that you just can't reach. It's there and we need to do something about it, but we don't know what. We need to look at young people, children and teens, ...read more

    The Road To Greatness

    Greatness in the eyes of the world is not the same as greatness in the eyes of God. What does it take to be great in God's eyes?

    The Road to Greatness Wednesday, March 10, 2010 By Pastor James May How does the world judge a man to be great? Often men are declared to be great if they have the ability to influence heads of state or leaders in society as Statesmen. These are often found as Leaders of Nations, peacekeepers ...read more

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,092 views

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

    The Lord's Big Lessons From Little Children

    Contributed by Rick Crandall on Mar 22, 2017
     | 11,411 views

    Jesus wants us to: 1. humble our hearts (vs. 1-4). 2. serve our Savior (vs. 5). 3. see the danger of disobeying God (vs. 6-9). 4. know the amazing assistance we have in Heaven (vs. 10). 5. see how to be saved (vs. 3 & 11-14).

    The Lord's Big Lessons from Little Children Matthew 18:1-14 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - May 22, 2016 *Well, it's now only 18 days until our first grandbaby is due, and I've been thinking about how much babies have to learn.

    Kingdom Greatness

     | 1,291 views

    “Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

    Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins ...read more

    The Unforgiving Servant Series

    Peter asked a question.... How many times must I forgive? Jesus responded by telling a story.

    January 23, 2021 The Context: Peter asked Jesus a question: “How many times do I have to forgive the person who sins against me… 7 times?” Peter’s question was not intended to get Jesus’ opinion so much as it was to toot his own horn of grace and mercy --- Toot!

    Humility

     | 10,804 views

    Ministers are reluctant to preach on humility. How do we promote humility without sounding like we think we’ve attained it? Needless to say, my sermon title isn’t “Humility and how I found it.” We are all "works-in-progress".

    Winston Churchill was reviling a political opponent at a press conference. A reporter interrupted him asking, “But surely, Mr. Churchill, you must admit that he is a humble, modest man?” To which Churchill replied: “He is a humble man, but then he has much to be humble about!” Ministers are ...read more

    A call to humility. A warning against stumbling blocks. Lost sheep found.

    AS A LITTLE CHILD. Matthew 18:1-14. 1. The disciples came to Jesus, openly and unashamedly asking, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” (Matthew 18:1). Jesus’ response was to call a little child to Himself. The child freely and willingly came. Jesus set him in the midst of the ...read more

    Faith Like A Child

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,416 views

    We need to consider how our waning faith can become a hindrance to others. Jesus provides a warning about hindering other believers who have the faith of a child. It is also a warning about hindering children from coming to Christ.

    Back when I was in college, one of my favorite songs was “Faith Like a Child” by Jars of Clay. Listen as I share some of the lyrics to this song: “Dear God, surround me as I speak; the bridges that I walk across are weak. Frustrations fill the void that I can’t solely bear . . .

     | 2,841 views

    The disciples of Jesus wanted to be great in the kingdom. Some people criticize the disciples for even asking the question. Jesus consider it normal and shows them a better way and a better attitude. It is normal to desire promote, achievement and elevation.
