This past weekend, I had the privilege of preaching through Mark 10:32-45 at Harvest Bible Chapel-Naperville. The message was entitled “Called to Greatness.” Below are my conclusions, based on Mark 10:45, as to how the gospel crushes notions of worldly greatness, and is the fuel in the pursuit of Christ-exalting, kingdom oriented greatness for the glory of God and the good of others.

THE WORLD DEFINES GREATNESS BY OUR POSITION…
The gospel frees us to pursue kingdom greatness by taking the position of a servant, because the finished work of Christ has secured our eternal position before God the Father!
THE WORLD DEFINES GREATNESS BY OUR PROMINENCE…
The gospel frees us to be great by being small, because in Christ, the Creator of all things loves us!
THE WORLD DEFINES GREATNESS BY WHAT WE POSSESS…
The gospel frees us to be greatly generous, because in Christ we have all we truly need!
THE WORLD DEFINES GREATNESS BY WHAT WE’VE ATTAINED…
The gospel frees us to be great by sacrificially giving to others, because Jesus has already attained all we need before the Father!
THE WORLD DEFINES GREATNESS BY OUR PRESTIGE…
The gospel frees us to pursue kingdom greatness by reveling in the success of Christ, not our own!
