—Mark 10:35-45
by: Paul Andries.
James and John were ill prepared to do what it takes to sit in the seats they request of Jesus. They were thinking of position and power-not what must be endured to arrive in those chairs. Yet, according to Jesus, greatness and leadership among his people are marked by great service.
Part of the motto of our SCSC program reads ".not to be served, but to serve." This is absolutely correct. There are other benefits that come as a result of being in SCSC, but the focus is serving the local church-seeking God's agenda before ours. Faithful servants may get promoted-some of those servants (former SCSC participants) continue to be servants as they lead in our churches.
