Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:1-10 | Power. Just say the word and several connotations come to mind. Especially in light of witnessing several people, groups, and institutions who have misused power, the essence of “power” very well may leave a sour taste in our mouths and it may be easy to think of power as “someone else’s problem.” But, within society as a whole, we seemingly can’t get away from the constant drive to be first, or to be the best. And yet, as followers of Jesus, we also claim to look to Christ as the source of all glory and power. So, how are we to live in God’s Kingdom now as servants? Join us this weekend for worship as we confess our desire for greatness, as we receive the servant love of our Lord, and as we are commissioned to live as servants of God and servants to one another.
