29-Mark: “Who is the Greatest? Jesus’ Unexpected Answer| Mark 9:30–41”

In this message from Mark 9:30–41, Jesus challenges everything we think we know about greatness. As His disciples argue over who among them is the greatest, Jesus calls a child into their midst and reveals that true greatness comes through humility, service, and receiving the least.
Even after witnessing His miracles and hearing His teaching, the disciples still struggle to understand—and we often do too. This passage confronts our pride, our need for recognition, and our tendency to miss the heart of the kingdom.
🔍 Topics in this message:
• What real kingdom greatness looks like
• Why the disciples didn’t understand Jesus' mission
• What it means to receive a child in Jesus’ name
• Why serving "the least" is central to following Christ
• How we often miss the point—just like John
