Pastor Thomas Brashears & Sharon Franta - preached January 12 - The world has a hierarchy, a “ladder,” for evaluating the success of a person. Sometimes that ladder is based upon fame, sometimes upon money. In an organization, the person who has made his or her way to the position of CEO or chairman of the board is considered to be at the top of the ladder. Jesus had to deal with this thinking among His own disciples. This concept of service being equated with greatness seemed completely upside down to the disciples. It was a perspective that went against the grain, against common sense, against the prevailing world opinion. And, it still is.
