In this sermon, pastor John talks about what it means to follow Jesus by setting aside our personal agendas. Refering back to the end of chapter 1, we learn that Paul desires and instructs us on unity and points to Jesus as the example to follow who being the very image God emptied Himself becoming a bond-servant and succeeded in obedience where Adam failed.

What is the greatest of God's Commandments? Jesus identifies this One Great Command in Moses' Law and links a 2nd Command to it permanently. Love God with everything and Love your neighbor as yourself. Sometimes we, to our detriment, twist the 2nd command into a self-centered diatribe about learning to love ourselves rather than focusing on the point of the command, and of love in general, that we are to live sacrificially thinking of others as greater than ourselves. Indeed, the great Christian life is the life of a servant-hearted lover of others. Jesus teaches the scribes that the Hebrew Messiah, the Christ, was to be greater than King David, not simply one of his descendants. Jesus warns the people to beware of the scribes whose preference was their own honor. Finally, we are reminded that God doesn't need money. He already owns everything. How we share is far more important than how much we share. Shared by Jason Stuart Percy at Refuge Tallahassee on Sunday, March 14, 2021.
