Humility: Matthew 20:17-28

This Sunday we engage with a story where the values of the disciples still reflect the distorted perspective of the world rather than those of the kingdom. Jesus disrupts our notions of greatness. Are we willing to yield our pursuit of self-serving ambition and instead be marked by the humility and servanthood characterized by Jesus?

Scripture Reading: Matthew 20:17-28, 1 Samuel 3:1-20 (Children’s Ministry)

This Week 2 of our series on Humility

Reflect Together:

  • Consider your understanding of greatness. In what ways has cultural influence shaped your perception, and how might you align it more with Jesus' servant leadership?

  • In which areas of your life do you find yourself seeking recognition or position? How can you intentionally shift your focus towards serving others without expecting acknowledgment?

  • Think about your daily spheres of influence – whether at home, neighborhood or in the marketplace. How can you embody Jesus' call to be a servant-leader in those specific contexts?
