The religious leaders of Jesus’ day believed brokenness to be a problem outside of themselves, to be addressed with tweaks to external performance. Jesus cuts to the heart of the issue and shows that the real problem is actually on the inside; unless our hearts are changed we will never experience the true and lasting change we all long for.

True Greatness
June 16, 2019 • Chad Francis
When James and John’s request for power and influence alienates their friends, Jesus takes this moment to teach His disciples about the nature of true greatness. True greatness is found, not in selfishness, but in service. And because He is truly great, Jesus serves His people in a way that frees them to become others-focused servants. Are you selfish or a servant?

In this story, Jesus loves a rich man enough to press him on his idolatry and reveals why He is worth giving up every other source of salvation for.
