Sermon: Jesus the Servant
Scripture: Mark 10:42-45 NIV
”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. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”“
Tagline: The same yesterday, today, and forever.
