Contents:
Introduction ; Part I: Misunderstanding greatness ; A teachable moment ; Resentment at the rock ; Private screening ; Failure and futility ; The presumption of eminence ; Part II: Jesus' sermon on greatness ; The positioning of greatness ; The prerogatives of greatness ; The powers of greatness ; The priorities of greatness ; The pursuit of greatness ; The pleasure of greatness ; Conclusion.
Summary: "What did Jesus really mean when he said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, the servant of all" (Mark 9:35)? Servant leadership is commended by popular leadership writers and scholars. However, much of the practical, theoretical, and even theological commentary on servant leadership doesn't do the Bible justice. It fails to account for the context and history of interpretation around this often-quoted saying of Jesus. This context has everything to do with a truly biblical understanding of servant leadership, and that's what Servant of All unfolds. In a culture where greatness is often confused with fame or competence, Servant of All is a much-needed correction. This useful guide includes personal and group reflection questions, ideal for ministry training and discipleship."--
