Shepherd Of The Desert Podcast

In the middle of the storm, we serve others.Do you want to be great? Make yourself a servant of others. Do you want to be first? Make yourself last. These words of Jesus in Mark's Gospel are stormy words indeed.  They are counter cultural, challenging, and altogether backwards according to conventional and worldly wisdom. Yet Jesus calls us to this way of life nonetheless. As we experience the storm before the calm, we live lives of service, sacrifice, and selflessness. Because ultimately, we walk in the footsteps of Jesus, the Son of Man, who came not to be served but to serve...and to give his life as a ransom and payment for you and me.
