    Love Serves, Part 2

    In our pursuit of greatness in God's eyes, we tend to imagine following Jesus into ever-increasing, upward levels of maturity. In this program, Chip poses the fascinating premise that we actually follow Jesus, descending into greatness. The quest for greatness = UNIVERSAL! How do we measure greatness? Power = Who and what we controlPossessions = What and how much we ownPosition = Our rank in the pecking orderPrestige = Who and how many “look up” to usProductivity = What and how much we accomplishHow do we obtain greatness? Two pathways to greatness:ASCENDINGDESCENDINGTrue greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4How do you experience true greatness? One word = HUMILITYHumility is the channel through which the supernatural power of God’s love flows to heal our deepest hurts and restore our most important relationships.Following Jesus into greatness - How to be authentically humble: Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8We experience the REWARD of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11Conclusion: God wants you to be great! The acid test of greatness = LOVEThe road to greatness = HUMILITYThe opportunity for greatness = SERVINGBroadcast Resource Download MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions I Choose Love BookConnect 888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With Us Donate Online888-333-6003
