Mark 9:30-37. This week, we will look at an argument the disciples have about who is the greatest. This comes right after Jesus, again, tells them about his death and resurrection. While it is tempting to dismiss the disciples as being ignorant, comparing ourselves to others is something we see every day. Jesus turns their argument on its head and tells us that greatness is found in serving others and not serving yourself. This is an important lesson for us to learn and one that has huge implications for how we live our lives. Let us pray about how God will speak to us this Sunday about what it means to be great.
