The Kingdom of Humility - Mark 9:38-41

This morning we will be looking at Mark 9:38-41. The Kingdom of God, the better Kingdom that Jesus is building, is often marked differently than if we were to build our own, thankfully.  The biggest factor is ME.  And you.  We get in the way of building a better kingdom so often because we often seek our own self interest.  We want things our way, when we want them, and how we want them.  But Mark 9 will show us that Jesus is building a better kingdom because He seeks the ultimate good. So we can humbly submit to and proclaim Him and His better kingdom with joy.
