Sermon notes

This desire to measure ourselves against the people around us can lead us to an elevated view of ourselves or a demeaning view of ourselves. We measure ourselves against others by:

• Status
• Influence
• Authority
• Relationships
• Education
• Religion

This practice can lead you to think “I am not enough” or to think “I am better than you.”

Matthew 20

This is the question I think Jesus is asking us today: As my followers, are you willing to embrace suffering to serve people?
