want to re-cap on what Jasmine shared in service last sat. a wonderful msg on servanthood leadership of Jesus, from Matthew 20:25-28.

"25Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

1. Consider the popular view of greatness (v25)
Leadership is top-down
Consider position, consider power

Deut 28:13.
What's the underlying motivation?
Job 24:1
Matthew 19

2. Discover God's view of greatness! (v26-28)
Others-centred stewardship

(a) Begins with a cause
Galatians 5:13-14
We serve because we love!
We love because He loves us first!

(b) involves a sacrifice
Acts 4:32
1 Chronicles 29:2-3

(c) Leads to life!
Be a channel instead of a reservoir!

So, be a great steward that God has made you to be today! :)
