Greatness Redefined

In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 18, the disciples ask Jesus a bold question: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Though they have recognized Jesus as King, the Son of God and messiah, earthly values like position, prestige and power lingered in discussions about their own positions in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus answers the question in a most surprising way.

Join Pastor Tommy as he walks us through the the kind of greatness Jesus intends for all those who are a part of His kingdom: a greatness that springs from childlike humility, holiness and trust in the Great Shepherd. (33:17)
