What does it mean to be a *great* Christian? Are YOU a *great* follower of Christ?

You may write these questions off as bait to make you sound arrogant, but a very real example of the pride that can sneak into our hearts shows up in the account of Jesus' disciples in Mark 10:32-35. In a moment of short-sightedness, the disciples begin arguing over who is the greatest or who will be the greatest. Where we need to start taking note is when Jesus deconstructs their vision of being a disciple and builds a completely new one! Marty Duren, the Director of Communications of our church network The Great Commission Collective, helps us understand and apply this radical pathway of loving God and loving others. And he even solidifies Jesus' teaching by showing you where to look elsewhere in Scripture to see this "greatness" lived out!
