    The Art of Greatness - March 2, 2025
    Mar 2 2025
    Becoming GreatThe Art of GreatnessJon FredricksToday's Scripture: Luke 22:24-30 NIV__________ Luke 22:24-30 NIV24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. 25 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. 26 But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves. 27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves. 28 You are those who have stood by me in my trials. 29 And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, 30 so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. John 15:13 NIVGreater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Philippians 2:5–7 NIV5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Matthew 25:21 NIV“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Proverbs 25:21 NIVIf your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 1 Peter 4:8 NIVAbove all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1) LEARN TO HUMBLY RECEIVEJohn 13:2-8 NIVThe evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” 2) TAKE TIME TO SEE WHAT GOD MIGHT SEEMatthew 5:41 NIVIf anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 1 John 4:20 NIVWhoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. Galatians 6:2 NIVCarry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3) DEDICATE DAILY WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME1 Peter 4:10 NIV10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. Acts 9:36 NIV36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. Acts 9:39 NIVPeter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them. 4) TRUST GOD FOR OUR DEFICITHebrews 6:10 NIVGod is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Colossians 3:24 NIV24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 2 Corinthians 9:10 NIVNow he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

    Becoming Great

    Greatness Requires a Team

    Jon Fredricks

    Today's Scripture: Luke 22:7-23 NIV

    __________

    Luke 22:7-23 NIV

    7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

    9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

    10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

    13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

    14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”

    17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

    19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

    20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. 21 But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22 The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!” 23 They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this….

    Luke 22:24 NIV

    A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.

    Ephesians 2:10 NIV

    10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

    Psalm 23:5 NIV

    You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

    Luke 22:30 NIV

    so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    Exodus 25:30 NIV

    30 Put the bread of the Presence on this table to be before me at all times.

    1) MAKE SPACE FOR A TABLE IN YOUR LIFE

    Leviticus 19:9-10 NIV

    9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.

    Matthew 5:41 NIV

    If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

    Psalm 46:10 NIV

    He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

    2) MAKE ROOM FOR PEOPLE IN YOUR HEART

    Luke 22:17-18 NIV

    17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

    John 19:29 NIV

    A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.

    John 13:34 NIV

    “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

    3) MAKE ROOM IN YOUR HEART FOR PEOPLE

    1 John 4:20 NIV

    Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

    Matthew 22:37-39 NIV

    37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

    WORSTStandBobby HumesToday's Scripture: Luke 21:29-38 ESV__________‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬-‭21‬‬that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 1) THE FIGHT IS ON! ‭‭Luke‬ ‭21‬:‭29‬-‭38‬‬And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out and lodged on the mount called Olivet. And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭31‬-‭32‬‬“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 2) JESUS ALREADY WON! 3) SO STAND! PUT ON YOUR ARMOR ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬‬Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: BELT & BREASTPLATE ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬‬Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬‬But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: SHOES FOR YOUR FEET ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬‬and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬‬Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬‬So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: SHIELD OF FAITH ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬‬In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬‬For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR: HELMET OF SALVATION & SWORD OF THE SPIRIT ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬‬and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬‬I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬‬ ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭20‬‬
