Worship Preparation - June 21, 2026
Read the sermon text: Luke 9:46-48
Read the sermon summary: What does it mean to be great? What is greatness? Should we seek it? If so, how? This week we find the disciples wrestling with these very questions, and their efforts, according to Jesus, seem to miss the point completely. Who or what serves as the hallmark of greatness in your own life? Should we as Christians even be concerned with the pursuit of greatness at all? Consider from these verses how Jesus transforms our concept of greatness and how he chooses to illustrate this transformation.
Read the following song lyrics in relation to the sermon:
Holy Forever
Verse 1
A thousand generations falling down in worship
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who've gone before us
And all who will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb
Pre-Chorus
(Jesus) Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
Chorus 1
And the angels cry Holy
All creation cries Holy
You are lifted high Holy
Holy forever
Verse 2
If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemed
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
We'll sing the song forever and amen
Chorus 2
Hear Your people sing Holy
To the King of Kings Holy
You will always be Holy
Holy forever
Tag
You will always be Holy
Holy forever
