Climbing the Wrong Ladder
Oct 4, 2026
It’s possible to spend your life climbing toward success only to discover you’ve been climbing the wrong ladder. James and John wanted positions of honor, but Jesus showed His disciples that greatness in God’s Kingdom looks very different.
It isn’t about position, recognition, or being served, it’s about serving others. Jesus ultimately demonstrated that kind of greatness at the cross, giving His life for us. In this opening message of How to Be the Greatest, we’ll discover that true greatness begins when we stop asking, “What’s in it for me?” and start following the example of Jesus.
