The "Me First" Problem . . .

"Truth is what I want it to be."

"I'm entitled to special privileges."

"Anything I do must ultimately benefit me."

"My team is here to make me look good."

"I rarely give money away."

"People who disagree with me are my enemies."

"I'll neglect others to protect myself."

"Controlling people is how I get my way."

Three Kinds of Power . . .

Positional Power

Possessional Power

Personal Power

WHEN JESUS REDUCES US TO GREATNESS . . .

We renounce the myth that the world owes us something

WHEN JESUS REDUCES US TO GREATNESS . . .

We resolve to put more into life than we hope to take out of it

Because we children of Adam want to be great,
He became small.
Because we will not stoop,
He humbled himself.
Because we want to rule,
He came to serve.
