In this thought-provoking sermon, we delve into the counterintuitive nature of God's kingdom as illustrated through the story of James and John's request to Jesus. By examining the passage from Mark 10:35-45, we explore how Jesus redefines true greatness, not as a position of power, but as an act of service and sacrifice. Drawing parallels between common misconceptions, such as the once widespread belief in a square earth, and the disciples' misunderstanding of Jesus' mission, the message challenges us to reconsider our own perspectives on leadership and success. Through relatable anecdotes and biblical insights, this sermon invites you to embrace the teachings of Jesus and learn how to live right-side up in a world that often operates upside-down. Prepare to be inspired to become a servant-leader and transform your view of what it means to follow Christ.
