Gospel of Mark: 27. The Cost (Mark 8:31–38)

While Jesus is preparing His disciples for the cross, the disciples are busy arguing about something entirely different: which one of them is the greatest.

In response, Jesus turns their understanding of success, status, and significance upside down. In God's kingdom, greatness isn't found in climbing higher—it's found in serving lower. The way up is down.

Join us as we explore Jesus' countercultural vision of leadership, humility, and service. Discover why the people the world often overlooks are the very people Jesus places at the center of His kingdom, and what it looks like to pursue true greatness in the way of Christ.
