In our pursuit of greatness in God's eyes, we tend to imagine following Jesus into ever-increasing, upward levels of maturity. In this program, Chip poses the fascinating premise that we actually follow Jesus, descending into greatness.
How do we measure greatness?
- Power = Who and what we control
- Possessions = What and how much we own
- Position = Our rank in the pecking order
- Prestige = Who and how many “look up” to us
- Productivity = What and how much we accomplish
How do we obtain greatness?
- Two pathways to greatness: Ascending and descending
- True greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4
How do you experience true greatness?
- One word = Humility (Humility is the channel through which the supernatural power of God’s love flows to heal our deepest hurts and restore our most important relationships.)
How to be authentically humble:
- Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5
- We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6
- We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7
- We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8
- We experience the reward of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11
