Freedom in Christ is an invitation to be bound in an abiding relationship with God and the living of a life in service to others. There is no greater gift to share than that of God's grace!بقلم Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

James and John make a request to be given a place of honor, but Jesus lays out for them the terms and conditions of such a request, namely that "the first shall be last, and the last first." The greatest honor is to serve.بقلم Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. When at the first wedding ceremony in this world’s history, the Lord God himself led the bride to the altar and gave her to her bridegroom, there was nothing but joy.

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, two things to reflect on this morning from the text. The first is this, the devil really hates you. And the second is that Jesus loves to hear this prayer, I believe, Lord help my unbelief. In fact, I think that’s probably the reason why Mark gives us this account and the Holy Spirit …
