Sunday Morning Service
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class opened with warm greetings and several announcements, including a forthcoming Storm‑of‑Life workshop led by Dean Miller, a graduation celebration for high‑school and college graduates, and an invitation for visitors to feel welcome. The teacher then addressed the theological question of what Jesus is doing now, explaining that Christ is seated at the right hand of God, interceding for believers, preparing a place for them in the Father’s house (John 14:2), and actively building up His church, ensuring the victory promised to His followers. Shifting to the core biblical theme, the teacher examined Jesus’ teachings about greatness in the Kingdom. Citing multiple occasions where the disciples argued about who was the greatest, he highlighted Jesus’ counter‑cultural answer: true greatness comes from being the least, serving others, and willingly descending to ascend. Passages from Matthew 20:26‑28, Luke 9:48, and Mark 9:35 were referenced to illustrate that servant‑leadership, not power or prestige, defines greatness in God’s eyes. The message concluded by urging the congregation to apply this humble, Kingdom‑centered view of greatness in daily life.
