What Does It Mean to Be Great in God’s Kingdom? - Matthew S6E1
About this episode
Pastors Joby Martin and Ryan Britt discuss the biblical concept of greatness and the call to serve in God's kingdom.
In Matthew 20, Jesus challenges the world’s definition of success. While the sons of Zebedee seek position and prominence, two blind men come to Jesus with nothing to offer but their need for mercy. Through these encounters, we see the difference between seeking what Jesus can give us and fully depending on what only He can do for us. In this episode of Deepen, Pastors Joby Martin and Ryan Britt unpack biblical greatness, the danger of consumer Christianity, the purpose of suffering and why following Jesus requires humility, perseverance and a willingness to serve. Jesus did not call us to chase comfort, titles or recognition. He called us to follow Him, serve others and make disciples. ⏱️ Timestamps:00:00 Intro02:51 How Have You Enjoyed Studying Through Matthew?11:28 What Is the Significance of Sitting at Jesus’ Right or Left?13:13 What Is the Difference Between Religion and Redemption?15:24 How Should We Evaluate Our Church Experience?22:04 What Does It Mean to Drink Jesus’ Cup?25:02 What Is the Relationship Between Greatness and Suffering?30:20 Why Are We Worried About Tomorrow?33:52 What Is the Difference Between Embracing Discomfort and Seeking Suffering?36:38 Does God Ever…
