37

Speaker 4: podcast tonight.

38
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 5: I want to talk about the path to greatness. Each

39
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 5: one of us has a desire to do something meaningful,

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 5: to live a life worth remembering. We all want to

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: reach our dreams and become.

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 4: The best version of ourselves. It's the way God designed us.

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 5: No one wakes up in the morning and says, I

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 5: hope I'm just mediocre today.

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: God, please help.

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 5: Me to be more insignificant. That's not in our nature.

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 5: We're meant to advance. We're wired for greatness. We admire

48
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 5: people who have done great things and wonder how we

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 5: could achieve something great ourselves. God put that desire in

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 5: each one of our hearts, but many times the true

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 5: path to greatness is completely overlooked. I had a friend.

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 5: They had a dream to work in politics. He got

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 5: a job in Washington.

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: D c.

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 5: And joined a group of talented, up and coming people

56
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 5: in the same field. They worked on all sorts of

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 5: projects together, But it wasn't long before he began to

58
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 5: realize these friends were only his friends as long as

59
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 5: he wasn't in the way of them moving up. They

60
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: were so determined to succeed they would do whatever they

61
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 5: had to. They would talk down about someone in front

62
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 5: of their superiors to make themselves look good. They wouldn't

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 5: share about opportunities. They were only concerned with their own elevation.

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 5: It was all a means to an end. After a

65
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: few years, my friend decided that just wasn't the way

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 5: he wanted to live his life. He sought greatness, but

67
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 5: he knew there had to be a better path.

68
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: Society says you have to do whatever it takes to

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: get to the top. Win it all costs.

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: It's now or never, doesn't matter who you have to

71
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: step on.

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: Or what stands in the way. That's what it takes

73
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: to succeed. Most of the time.

74
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: It's not that we're trying to put people down, but

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: all that we've been told is you have to grind,

76
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: work your way to the top, fight for position.

77
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: That's what's required to be great.

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: It can feel like if we're not giving all of

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: our energy to our own goals and ambitions and we're

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 5: falling behind. But what if there was a better approach,

81
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: What if there was a path to greatness society doesn't

82
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: talk about. Who could show us the way? The disciples

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: were arguing about this very thing. Two of them had

84
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: asked Jesus if they could be the ones to sit

85
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 5: beside him in his kingdom. When the others heard about this,

86
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: they were so furious they couldn't believe they had the

87
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 5: audacity to ask that, to ask for this position of greatness, a.

88
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: Place of honor.

89
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 5: It finally got so heated among them Jesus himself spoke

90
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: up to put an end to the debate. He said,

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 5: whoever wants to be great, I'll tell you how I

92
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 5: can imagine.

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: The room fell silent. Peter might have pushed his way

94
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: to the front.

95
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: Everyone lean forward in anticipation, and Jesus said, whoever wants

96
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 5: to be great, I mean truly great, must become a servant.

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 5: No one said a word, but I can almost hear

98
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: them asking, is that it? Then Jesus said again, the

99
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 5: greatest of all.

100
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: Is the one who serves the disciples. Could have thought, Jesus,

101
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: I don't know how to tell you this, but if

102
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: that's the new.

103
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 5: Book you're writing, I don't think it's gonna sell. They

104
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: probably expected him to say, if you perform miracles, if

105
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 5: you have influence, when everyone knows your name, then you'll

106
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: be great. But so many things in the Kingdom of

107
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 5: God seen backwards on the surface. Greatness isn't found in notoriety, acknowledgment,

108
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 5: or accomplishments.

109
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 4: It's found when we live for something greater than ourselves.

110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: Society says we have to work our way to the top,

111
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 5: but the truth.

112
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: Is we serve our way up.

113
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 5: Jesus laid out the true path to greatness, and it's

114
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 5: paved with helping others. When we lift people, when we

115
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: lend them a hand, when we offer what we have,

116
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 5: then we rise higher. God lifts us. He gives us

117
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: more in return. That's not why we serve. That's just

118
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 5: how good our God is. My friend that worked in

119
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 5: politics can attest to this. He decided to take the

120
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 5: right approach. When he began to serve, God brought him

121
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 5: to levels he would have never imagined. When he decided

122
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: to change his focus from how can I outdo someone?

123
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: So what can I do for someone? Greatness started looking

124
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 5: for him.

125
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: Opportunities began to chase him down.

126
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 5: Now, many years later, he's an executive at a worldwide

127
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: organization that's making a difference in people's lives across the globe.

128
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: He has a happy family, he's helping others. But he

129
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: said he would have never had this kind of fulfillment

130
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 5: if he had taken another route. So many people want

131
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 5: what God offers, but they go about it the wrong way.

132
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 5: They're set on a dead end road when the true

133
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 5: path to greatness is right before them. The principles Heaven

134
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: values most are often the most underrated in the modern day.

135
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: Society says you have to fight your way to the top,

136
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 5: but God says, serve your way. They say stay busy,

137
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 5: God says, take time for others. They say take all

138
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: you can get, but God says, give all that you

139
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 5: can Instead of thinking how can I be blessed?

140
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: We can ask ourselves how can I be a blessing?

141
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: Who can I serve? How can I be good to someone? Today?

142
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 4: We might think, but what about my dreams? What about

143
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: my goals?

144
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: Most of us would never push someone down to rise higher,

145
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 5: But we're too busy to serve. We don't have time

146
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: to show someone else favor. We have goals, we have ambitions.

147
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 5: How will we accomplish our dreams if we're always stopping

148
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 5: to help someone else along the way.

149
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 4: What if it slows us down or worse?

150
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 5: What if we put in a good word for them

151
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 5: and they get the position we want. What if they

152
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 5: go further than us and it's our fault?

153
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: I imagine one of the reasons.

154
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: To decide diciples were so upset when they found out

155
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: two of them had asked to sit beside Jesus. Was

156
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 5: not because those two would be honored. It wasn't because

157
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: they would be considered great. The other disciples were concerned

158
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: about what would happen to them. Maybe there wouldn't be

159
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 5: anything left. Thoughts may say, don't help, there won't be

160
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 5: anything left for you, or don't serve, you're too busy,

161
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: you don't have time for that. But the truth is

162
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: you don't have time not to. Jesus said, whoever wants to.

163
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: Be great must be a servant.

164
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: It's not an option. Until we learn to serve, we're

165
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 5: just treading water. We may think it's slowing us down,

166
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: but in reality, not doing it could be the only thing.

167
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: Holding us back. That's what allows God to take us higher.

168
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: That's what causes him to promote us. You're never wasting

169
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 5: time serving others. It's not slowing you down.

170
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 4: It's building momentum.

171
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 5: God will cause the rest of your time to be

172
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 5: more valuable and effective.

173
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: Than all of it would have been as a whole.

174
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 5: And you don't have to worry about people taking your spot.

175
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: When you build someone else up, when you help them

176
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 5: reach their next level, God will do the same for you.

177
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 5: He controls the universe. He can open doors you didn't

178
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 5: even know.

179
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: Where an option.

180
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 5: How do you know He's not using you to help

181
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 5: promote them so that they could recommend you at an.

182
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: Even higher level.

183
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 5: That's what happened to Joseph when he was in prison.

184
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 5: He helped interpret someone's dream, but soon after that man

185
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 5: was released, Joseph could.

186
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: Have thought, well, that was a waste of time. Now

187
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: he's free and I'm stuck here.

188
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 5: But it was that act of service that actually got

189
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: Joseph introduced to the Pharaoh.

190
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 4: Through it, he wasn't.

191
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 5: Just set free from prison, he was put in charge

192
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 5: of the entire nation. All of this happened because he

193
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: was willing to help one man with his dream.

194
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 4: Whose dream can you serve?

195
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 5: When I was in school, I heard a lot about networking.

196
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: It was all about who you know, how to work

197
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 5: your way up through connections. Everyone was asking the same question,

198
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 5: how do I make it? In other words, how do

199
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 5: I do something great? The professors would tell us, get

200
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 5: a job in this field, try to meet this person,

201
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 5: get them to see your work. Maybe that will get

202
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: you a door opened. I studied film, and I heard

203
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 5: the path to Hollywood laid out so many times it

204
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 5: became exhausting. It was always what can they do for me?

205
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 5: But not once did I hear what can I do

206
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 5: for them?

207
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 4: How can I help? What if that was the approach

208
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: we took to greatness? What if that was how we

209
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: lived our.

210
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 5: Lives, Less grinding, more giving, less about who we know,

211
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 5: more about how much we care, less comparison and more kindness.

212
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 5: Our value for people not being in what they can

213
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 5: offer us, but what we can offer. Then I'm not

214
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: talking about laying down your dreams and ambitions.

215
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 4: I'm not saying settle.

216
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 5: For less or let people walk all over you. Jesus

217
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: is trying to teach us how to be great.

218
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: He said it best. If you're not after greatness, then

219
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 4: this is not for you.

220
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: If you don't have big goals and aspirations, then you're

221
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: actually missing the first part.

222
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,479
Speaker 4: This is for those with vision, people who are motivated.

223
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 5: This is for leaders, doctors, artists, people with passion on

224
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 5: the inside. If you want to become great, find someone

225
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 5: to serve.

226
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: If you want to rise high or lift someone else.

227
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: If you want to reach your destiny, help somebody reach theirs.

228
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 5: When you take care of God's children, he will always

229
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 5: take care of you. We have the opportunity to visit

230
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 5: one of the major Hollywood film studios with a friend

231
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 5: of ours that works in TV. He's one of the

232
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 5: most renowned successful producers in the whole industry. He was

233
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 5: showing us around the lot, given this passionate speech about

234
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 5: how he got started with the studio, when all of

235
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 5: a sudden, this older woman interrupted him to ask how

236
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 5: to get to a particular office. At first, I was

237
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: kind of nervous. I wasn't sure how he would respond.

238
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 5: This lady clearly had no idea who she was talking to.

239
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 5: She could just cut off one of the most important

240
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 5: people in the business to ask for directions. But he stopped,

241
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 5: turned to her, and in the most genuine way, he said,

242
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't know where that is, but

243
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 5: let me help you find it. He told us he'd

244
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 5: be right back, and I watched him walk probably fifty

245
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 5: yards to another building to help her find what she

246
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: was looking for. I would have understood if he had said,

247
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 5: I don't know, just go ask someone else, But he cared.

248
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: He took time to help. He showed this woman the

249
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 5: way everyone else knew. He was the boss, but he

250
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: wasn't too big to serve. That's the mark of greatness.

251
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: Those are the signs. It's not just someone's talent or

252
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: ability or education.

253
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 4: It's the heart of a servant.

254
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 5: That's what got him there, and that's what sustains him.

255
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: Someone as busy as this producer was willing to stop

256
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 5: what he was doing for a moment to be good

257
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 5: to someone else. He even went the extra mile, and

258
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 5: he didn't ask for anything in return. It's not about

259
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 5: taking a lowly position. This guy was in charge, he

260
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: was the boss. But it's about an attitude that says,

261
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 5: wherever I am, I'm here to serve, I'm here to give.

262
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 4: How can I help. It's easy to think, well.

263
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 5: I'm not a big time producer like this man.

264
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 4: If I was the boss, then i'd help others.

265
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 5: If people were watching, then I could be an example.

266
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 5: But that's backwards. This is the path to greatness. These

267
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 5: are the actions that lead you there. When you're willing

268
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: to put someone else first, when you help solve their problem,

269
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 5: when you go out of your way to be good

270
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,359
Speaker 5: to people, then each.

271
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: Day is a step in the right direction.

272
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 5: The qualities that we see in this man are things

273
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 5: he developed long before he ever reached that level. When

274
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: you make serving your priority, God will give you promotion, breakthroughs,

275
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: and opportunities you couldn't have gotten on your own. One

276
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 5: week before Jesus went to the Cross, he gathered with

277
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 5: his disciples.

278
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 4: For a meal.

279
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 5: At this point, he already knew his time was coming

280
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: to an end. That gives us such insight into what

281
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 5: his priorities were. He didn't have a moment to waste.

282
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 5: If we knew we only had one week left on

283
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 5: this earth, we would make a count, We would do

284
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 5: something meaningful. So whatever Jesus was planning must have been

285
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 5: of the utmost importance. He was probably working on his

286
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 5: biggest miracle yet.

287
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: Maybe it is time. He was going to feed ten thousand.

288
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: Or twenty thousand people with one meal. Maybe he was

289
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 5: planning to open every blind eye or calm an even

290
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 5: greater storm.

291
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: But in the final moments.

292
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: Of Jesus's life, when every second counted, he got down

293
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 5: on the floor, poured water into a basin and washed

294
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 5: his disciples feet.

295
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: He didn't do it because he had to.

296
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 5: He did it because he loved them, And then.

297
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: He told us to go and do the same.

298
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 5: The importance Jesus placed on serving others can't be overstated.

299
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 4: With everything he was capable of, that's what he considered

300
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: the highest priority. What if we made others a priority

301
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 4: in our lives.

302
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 5: I wonder what would happen if we took five minutes

303
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 5: a day to think of ways we could be good

304
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 5: to someone else.

305
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 4: What would our world begin to look like?

306
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 5: We could send someone an encouraging text and let them

307
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 5: know how much we appreciate them. We could help our

308
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 5: friend move into their new apartment.

309
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 4: We could buy our coworkers lunch.

310
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 5: One of the best ways to say thank you Jesus

311
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 5: for what you've done for me is to ask what

312
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 5: can I do for someone else? It's great when God

313
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: brings us opportunities to serve, but when we start looking

314
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 5: for them, blessings start looking for us. Think of something

315
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 5: you're good at and use it to be good to

316
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 5: someone else. Maybe you can cook, why not deliver a meal?

317
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: Maybe you're brilliant with finances. You could help someone else

318
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 5: balance their budget. Or maybe you love fashion buy someone

319
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 5: a pair of shoes. When's the last time we stop.

320
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: To get creative with how we could be a blessing.

321
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 5: Taking five minutes a day to really think of what

322
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 5: we could do for someone else could not only change

323
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 5: their lives, but it could change ours. We could start

324
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 5: with the people closest to us, our family.

325
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 4: How can we honor them?

326
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 5: We could consider who's going to cross our path that day.

327
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 5: What's one thing that we could do for that person.

328
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: That's all it takes.

329
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 5: God blesses us to be blessings, not to be hoarders.

330
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 4: He gives seed to the sower, not to the seed collector.

331
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 5: When we begin to realize every good thing comes from Him,

332
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 5: it starts to shape the purpose of it. We begin

333
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 5: to recognize just what we're meant to do with it.

334
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 4: Think of it like this.

335
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 5: If God gave you that car, who are you going

336
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 5: to give a ride? If he gave you that management position,

337
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 5: who are you going to Mentor if he gave give

338
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 5: you that creative idea, who is it going to serve?

339
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 5: There is nothing greater than coming to the end of

340
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 5: a day and knowing someone else is better off because

341
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 5: God blessed us so that we could bless them. When

342
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: my mom was about twenty years old, she would pick

343
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 5: this older lady up from her house every Sunday and

344
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 5: bring her to church.

345
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 4: It meant so much to this woman that this young

346
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 4: girl would take the time to do that.

347
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 5: She lived alone, and the person that had brought her

348
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 5: before had moved away. My mom had realized she hadn't

349
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: seen her in a few weeks, so she began to

350
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 5: ask where she had gone. Once she found out, she

351
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 5: offered to give her a ride. From then on, this

352
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 5: woman was so grateful. My mom told me that was

353
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 5: one of her favorite memories of how great friends they

354
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: became over those years. Serving is as simple as asking

355
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 5: someone what they need and doing what you can to

356
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: meet it. I've found when you take the time to

357
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 5: ask a person how you can help, just the question

358
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 5: itself shows how much you care and adds value to

359
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 5: their life. It shines a light, and the people that

360
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: really need help will tell you how.

361
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: It could be a.

362
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 5: Woman looking for a ride to work. It could be

363
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 5: a single parent struggling to pay the rent. It could

364
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: even be a friend that just needs someone to talk to.

365
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 4: You don't have to have all the answers, but will

366
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: you do what you can.

367
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 5: We're not meant to be the center of our lives

368
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 5: twenty four hours a day. The reason some people aren't

369
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 5: happy is because all they think about is their wants,

370
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 5: their needs, and their problems.

371
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 4: I say this respectfully, but if you're.

372
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated, maybe you need to take a

373
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 5: break from you.

374
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 4: We all do.

375
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: It's not healthy to have us on our minds twenty

376
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 5: five hours a day. Take a break from the busyness,

377
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 5: Take a break from what's bothering you take a break

378
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 5: from the struggle and be good to someone else. Give

379
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 5: your thoughts a chance to think about something other than

380
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 5: just what's wrong.

381
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: When you focus your.

382
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 5: Attention on good things, like helping others, it releases the

383
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 5: rest to God. The Bible says, our Father already knows

384
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 5: what we need before we even ask. That gives us

385
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 5: the freedom to live at peace and spend our time

386
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 5: on other things. Serving people is like saying God, I

387
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 5: trust you so much with my.

388
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 4: Life that I'm willing to put my time, energy, and

389
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 4: focus towards someone else.

390
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 5: When you put serving at the sinner, you're putting Jesus

391
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 5: at the center. You're taking care of people and allowing

392
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 5: Him to take care of you.

393
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 4: It's the best way to live.

394
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 5: It's the path to a great and fulfilling life.

395
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 4: It feels good, it's exciting. That's what God intended.

396
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 5: We can look forward to all the ways this is

397
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 5: going to add joy, energy and strength to our lives.

398
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 4: There was a.

399
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 5: Boy out in the shepherd's field tending to his father's sheep.

400
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 5: He had greatness on the inside. In fact, God had

401
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 5: chosen him to be the next king of Israel. But

402
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 5: his first stop wasn't the throne or even.

403
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 4: The palace at all. After he was annoint to king,

404
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 4: David went right back.

405
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 5: To the field that he came from and continued to

406
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 5: care for the sheep. One day, his father came to

407
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 5: him and asked him to deliver food to his brothers,

408
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 5: who were in another city serving in the army. David

409
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 5: could have thought, I'm not some errand boy, I'm supposed

410
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 5: to be king. Can't someone else deliver this food?

411
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: But we don't read one.

412
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 5: Instance where David was too proud to serve. God had

413
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 5: given him a big promise, yet he was willing to

414
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 5: do a small thing. That's the mark of greatness showing through.

415
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 5: The Next morning, David set out with food for his brothers.

416
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 5: When he arrived at their camp, he began to hear

417
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 5: the shouts of a man named Goliath, champion of the

418
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 5: Philistine army, taunting the Israelites and their god.

419
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: We all know where this story.

420
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 5: Goes, But if David hadn't gone to deliver his brother's lunch,

421
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 5: he would have never met Goliath. If he hadn't been

422
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 5: willing to do a small thing, we wouldn't be talking

423
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 5: about him today.

424
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 4: His destiny was.

425
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 5: Disguised in something that looked insignificant.

426
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 4: His purpose was hidden in a sandwich.

427
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 5: It's not always the impressive, giant slaying moments.

428
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: That lead to greatness, but the little.

429
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 5: Acts of obedience along the way that are just as important.

430
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 5: I wonder what levels of greatness are waiting for us

431
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 5: in something that looks insignificant. You may have a big

432
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 5: future ahead of you, but the job you're at right

433
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 5: now seems too small. You're tired of serving someone else's vision.

434
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 5: You might not see it yet, but your destiny could

435
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: be waiting in that very next act of obedience. That

436
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 5: could be how you meet your Goliath. Don't miss an

437
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 5: opportunity to serve because it looks insignificant.

438
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 4: God is searching for people he can trust.

439
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 5: With the little things before he gives them something even greater.

440
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: Like David, we have to humble ourselves and serve others,

441
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 5: even when we know there's.

442
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: Much more inside of us.

443
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 5: When King saw heard that a teenage boy was inquiring

444
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 5: about Goliath, the Bible says he's sent for David.

445
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 4: Royalty came looking for him.

446
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 5: David went to deliver a sandwich and found himself standing

447
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 5: in the presence of the King. That's the power of serving.

448
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 5: That's the path to greatness. God will cause you to

449
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 5: be sent for. He'll cause people to notice you.

450
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: You'll be in the right place at the right time.

451
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 5: David didn't leave home that morning looking for an opportunity.

452
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: He wasn't trying to make things happen in his own strength.

453
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 5: In the same way, you don't have to manipulate the situation.

454
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 5: You don't have to try to force the door open.

455
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 5: You don't have to convince people to like you. Promotion

456
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 5: doesn't come from people, it comes from God. When you're

457
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 5: being faithful in the small things, putting others first, you're

458
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: on the path to greatness. You don't have to stress

459
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 5: or fight for your position. You can live at peace

460
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 5: knowing when it's your time, they'll sit for you. I

461
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: heard this story about a professional mountain climber. He and

462
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 5: his team were making one of the most challenging climbs

463
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 5: in the world. Even some of the most experienced professionals

464
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: hadn't been able to complete this. It was well below

465
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 5: freezing and oxygen was scarce. About six hours from the summit,

466
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 5: they encountered this huge, unexpected storm, making the journey even

467
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 5: more dangerous as they made their way through the swirling

468
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 5: snow and ice. This climber began to faintly make out

469
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 5: the figure of a man curled up on the side

470
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 5: of the path. He was completely unconscious and barely breathing.

471
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 5: It wouldn't be long before he froze to death. So

472
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 5: this climber stopped and began to help. But his team

473
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 5: urged him.

474
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 4: To keep going.

475
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 5: They said, if you stop here, you could lose your

476
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 5: own life.

477
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: But he couldn't leave him behind.

478
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 5: This climber knelt down in the snow and began massaging

479
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 5: circulation back into the man's arms and legs.

480
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 4: He did whatever he could to keep.

481
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 5: Him warm, tried his best to wake him. After fifteen minutes,

482
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 5: this man miraculously opened his eyes and the two made

483
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 5: their way down the mountain together. Later, when they were

484
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 5: examined by a doctor, he told the climber that had

485
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 5: stopped to help. You didn't realize it, but your arms

486
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 5: and legs were actually becoming numb. If you would have

487
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 5: kept going, it would have only gotten worse. But by

488
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 5: stopping to massage circulation back into his body, you actually

489
00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 5: increased your own circulation and probably saved your life. We

490
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 5: may not even realize how vital serving is to our

491
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: own lives. You have greatness on the inside, do your

492
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 5: part to bring it out. Don't let a day go

493
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 5: by without being good to someone else. When you're looking

494
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 5: for people you can bless. Blessings will come looking for you.

495
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 5: Take time for others, Lift those around you. Be quick

496
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 5: to lend a hand. As you walk this path to greatness,

497
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: Like with David, God will cause you.

498
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 4: To be sent for.

499
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 5: He'll cause the right people to find you. He'll open

500
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 5: doors you didn't even know.

501
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 4: We're an option.

502
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 5: That's not why we serve, That's just how good our

503
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: God is.

504
