Sunday Worship Experience - 09/28/2025

In a world dominated by social media and self-promotion, Pastor Randy delivers a powerful message about the subtle yet destructive force of pride in our spiritual lives. Through the lens of Mark 9:30-41, he unveils how the disciples' struggle with greatness mirrors our own modern battle with pride and status-seeking behavior. Pastor Randy vulnerably shares his personal journey, admitting how he once believed visibility in ministry was paramount, only to discover that true greatness in God's kingdom is measured by humble service. He masterfully draws parallels between the disciples' exclusive mindset and our own tendencies to elevate ourselves above others, reminding us that Jesus's definition of greatness turns worldly standards upside down. With practical wisdom, he emphasizes that authentic discipleship isn't about social status or religious titles, but about serving others who can't repay us—especially children and those often overlooked. The message culminates in an urgent call to examine our hearts, offering five powerful words—please, sorry, thank you, excuse me, and pardon me—as practical tools for combating pride and embracing Christ-like humility in our daily walks.
