Getting to Empty: Un-Kinged

About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of self-emptying leadership as exemplified by Jesus during his entry into Jerusalem.

Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Philippians 2:5-11 We follow Jesus into Jerusalem and join in shouts of praise. We, like those crowds long ago, too often try to bend Jesus into our own form of just another emperor or king. Instead, we are shown the grace-filled leadership of self-emptying. How do we follow in his way, making space for one another so that we might live more wholly as a people? The post Getting to Empty: Un-Kinged appeared first on Foreside Community Church .
