Giving Update
The ministry of SHC is funded entirely by the
generous giving of Gods people. You will
notice that we do not pass the offering plate;
however, there are offering boxes in the back
of the auditorium. We believe from the Word
of God that the Spirit of God will lead people
towards giving back to God of their first fruits.
...God loves a cheerful giver, (2 Cor. 9:7).

Our Purpose
Love God.
Love Others.
Reach The World.
We proclaim Him, admonishing every
man and teaching everyman with all
wisdom, so that we may present every
man complete in Christ. For this
purpose also I labor, striving according
to His power, which mightily works
within me. Colossians 1:28-29

Introduction
Lack of Love (vv. 46-56). The disciples did not have much love for each
other, or they would not have argued over who was the greatest (Luke
9:46-48). Perhaps this debate started because of envy (three of the
disciples had been with Jesus on the mount), or because of pride (the
other nine had failed to cast out the demon). Also, just before this, Jesus
had paid Peters temple tax for him (Matthew 17:24-27), and this may
have aroused some envy.
In His kingdom, the example of greatness is a little child helpless,
dependent, without status, living by faith. The only thing worse than a
child trying to act like an adult, is an adult acting like a child! There is a
great difference between being childlike and childish (see 1 Corinthians
13:4-5; 14:20)!
They also showed a lack of love for believers outside their own group
(Luke 9:49-50). This is what we would expect from a son of thunder
(Mark 3:17)! Perhaps John was trying to impress Jesus with his zeal for
protecting His name, but the Lord was not impressed. Believers who
think that their group is the only group God recognizes and blesses are in
for a shock when they get to heaven.1
REVIEW
Everyone from common to the king was focused on Christ.
Who do people focus on as a result of your efforts?
Not asking you to see. I am asking you to trust Me.
The reality (and sufficiency) of Gods Word.
A perverted faith trusts a system of recent successes more than the
Savior.
