Do You Want to Be Great?

Would you like to be a GREAT spouse (or future spouse), co-worker, friend or anything else you can think of?  

Jesus told us how: “…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.) Matthew 20:26

If we want to be great … we need to serve!  

What does this look like?  

S = Seek out opportunities to do good for others without expecting ANYTHING in return. (If we do things for someone b/c we expect something in return then it is not serving, it’s selfishness!)  

E = Eliminate the mindset that, “it’s all about me!”

R = Remember the example that JESUS Himself set for us (John 13:1-17).  

V = Value the fact that as we seek to serve others (and not take from them) then we are becoming more like Jesus.  

E = Embrace the fact the church will reach way more people in this world through serving them rather than screaming at them. (This is SO true in EVERY relationship … if you want to be a GREAT spouse, don’t scream at your spouse about what you perceive to be their inadequacies, SERVE them to the best of your ability! It WILL change things!)
