Re-envision to Serve

Published: May 17, 2023, 8 a.m.

A brief overview of Matthew 17-20 then reading from Matthew 20:20-28. The mother of James and John seeking places of honor for her sons. Their vision of God\u2019s kingdom is distorted by the kingdoms of the world. The contract between the Kingdom\u2019s way and the way of the world. The bitter cup of suffering, laying down one\u2019s life. Shift the way we think about being a leader, serving God. Honor is given for service. Taking the time to count the cost. Letting our responses pass through a filter that includes scripture and submission to Jesus. \xa0James and John trying to secure their place in the Kingdom, but that is the work of God.
