The Downward Path to Greatness - 10am Traditional Eucharist
Sep 27, 2026 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
This sermon teaches that Scripture serves as a spiritual measuring line, revealing where our lives need to be brought into alignment with the character of Jesus—particularly His humility, selflessness, and concern for the needs of others. Sequence 01 Drawing from Philippians 2, it contrasts the world’s pursuit of recognition, achievement, and self-promotion with Christ’s example of emptying Himself, becoming a servant, and humbling Himself even to death on the cross. Sequence 01 Ultimately, the sermon calls Christians to abandon selfish ambition and follow Jesus’ downward path of humble service, trusting that true greatness comes not through exalting ourselves but through allowing God to work in and through our surrendered lives.
