Concerning Ambition: Celebrity or Servant | Matthew 20:17-28

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Matthew 20:17-28.

We live in an ambition world. Everyone wants to be a celebrity. But if you can’t be a celebrity, at least try to be next to one. As Jesus gives another horrifying prediction of His death, His disciples are not concerned about Christ but are angling for better seats in His kingdom.

Big Idea: Christ’s cross is the pattern for our ambition: the outpouring of yourself in service of others.

2. The Disciples’ Ambition (20-24)
3. The Christians’ Ambition (25-28)
