    Luke 9: 46-50 | Who is The Greatest?

    Pastor Mike Weaver explores the concept of greatness—both in the eyes of the world and through a biblical lens, as he preaches on Luke 9:46-50. He reflects on how society debates who is the greatest in sport, history, and public life, but contrasts this with Jesus’ teaching that true greatness is found in humility, service, and welcoming those who are often overlooked. Through famous speeches, cultural moments, and the disciples’ own struggles, we consider what it means to be truly great in God’s kingdom, and how the church is called to unity, humility, and radical inclusion. Perfect for those seeking spiritual depth and practical insight into Christian community and service.
