Date: August 20, 2017 Message: How NOT to Serve Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35 Venue: Crossing Speaker: Danny Curry

Everybody wants to be great. The way of true greatness: to serve and to give.

HOW NOT TO BE GREAT Peter asks a question about forgiveness. Jesus’ answer: It’s always best to forgive. Jesus tells a story about creditors and debtors. The debtor owed so much he would never be able to pay it back. The king cancels the enormous debt.

The original debtor is owed a small amount by his fellow servant. He demands payment in full. Those who witness his lack of mercy are incredulous. Shouldn’t you have mercy on them, just as I had mercy on you? A lack of mercy shows a lack of gratitude. Focus more on what was done FOR you, than what was done TO you. “Jesus, your cross is not enough to pay for ___________” Forgiven people forgive people. Greatness happens when we share the mercy we’ve been given. Scripture references Mark 10:45 // Romans 11:33-36 We partake of communion each week at Park Chapel. If you are unable to participate due to food allergies please stop by Connecting Point for alternative communion elements.
