Sunday recap

December 5, 2021 | Mark 10: 32-45 | “True Greatness”
Main point: The Son of Man came to call you to follow him in serving others for the glory of God.
1. Don’t chase political power, follow Jesus.
2. Don’t chase comfort, suffer well.
3. Don’t chase power, serve others.
“The symbol of an authentically Christian leadership is not the purple robe of an emperor, but the coarse apron of a slave; not a throne of ivory and gold, but a basin of water for the washing of feet.” John Stott
LET’s do lunch
The reason we love Let’s Do Lunch Sundays is not primarily because of food (though that’s delicious!). It’s because the process of sitting down together shapes both hosts and guests through giving, receiving, honoring, building trust, and enjoying God’s good gifts together.
In his book A Meal With Jesus, author Tim Chester articulates the profound value of cultivating friendship around shared meals. He writes:
“Hospitality involves welcoming, creating space, listening, paying attention, and providing. Meals slow things down. Some of us don’t like that. We like to get things done. But meals force you to be people-oriented instead of task-oriented. Sharing a meal is not the only way to build relationships, but it is number one on the list.”
So, let’s dive in! There were a number of new members introduced this last Sunday. Could you reach out to any of them? Or is there someone from a different community group you’d like to get to know? If you’re looking for some help on how to get started, check out this post! Let’s do lunch this coming Sunday and grow together.
