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 controlPossessions = What and how much we ownPosition = Our rank in the pecking orderPrestige = Who and how many “look up” to usProductivity = What and how much we accomplishHow do we obtain greatness?Two pathways to greatness: Ascending and descendingTrue greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4How 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 2:5We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8We experience the reward of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions"I Choose Joy" Book"I Choose Joy" Home Church StudyMid Year MatchMid Year MatchConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003
