Greatness

The podcast this week by Maggie Nancarrow includes an opening prayer, the Gospel reading, sermon reflection, wondering question, a time to pray for family, neighbors, the Cities and world, and a blessing.

This week, James and John approach Jesus with a presumptive question, which prompts Jesus to teach: “Whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant.” What definitions of greatness exist in our own culture, and how can we allow those definitions to be shaped by God’s Way?
