A Quiet Walk with Jesus
Jesus and His disciples are continuing their journey and what a journey it has been.
In our passage today we see a shift again now to a quiet walk with Jesus with some teaching for the disciples.
You can find this paralleled in Lk9:43-52.
Have you ever had a time when it was just a quiet time with someone, that you really did not want to share with anyone?
This is a time between the disciples and Jesus, Jesus is nearing the end of His journey and there is still much to teach the disciples so as they are heading to Jerusalem and to the Cross we have our passage today.
We will see:
Things done quietly (Mk9:30-32); but not without a dispute (Mk9:33-34)
Way of greatness is servitude (Mk9:35)
Way of greatness is by humility (Mk9:36-37)
May we look at the entire passage in context then will break it down.
What do you see, what do you notice, what sticks out to you?

Jesus teaches the way, and the heart in the passage today.
The Heart of servant- Servitude
The world says if you are great you have servants; but Jesus says true greatness is in serving others.
As we look at our passage we will look at the heart of the servant regarding evangelism, edification and benevolence.
