Pastor Keithen continued our FOLLOW series with a passage on serving that cuts against much of what New York teaches us about how to get ahead. In Matthew 20, the mother of James and John asks Jesus for places of honor for her sons in His Kingdom. Her request reflects a familiar way of thinking—use your relationships, secure your position, and climb as high as you can. Jesus responds with four words that change the whole framework, “Not so with you.”
