When the other ten heard of this conversation, they lost their tempers with James and John. Jesus got them together to settle things down. “You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around,” he said, “and when people get a little power how quickly it goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not to be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for many who are held hostage.” * * *

Everyone is born with a desire for greatness. But given the rampant abuses of power we see in our world today, it can be easy to believe that our desire for greatness is inherently sinful. As this three day plan will show, Jesus offers an alternative perspective, showing his disciples and us the good in our desire to be great.
As the Lord has called us to become leaders, we sometimes have misconceptions about the role given to us and struggle to define the kind of leader God wants us to be, missing the joy of serving people. This 3-day plan includes a self-reflective and practical call to action in building leadership that values relationships, not position. There is also meaningful discussion material for growth groups and teams at work.

But what if you don’t own a single title that demands respect? What if your title went away? Would you lead anyway?
