TEXT: for Kingdom Mindedness
KEY VERSES:
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.”
He took a little child and had him stand among them.
Taking him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”
KEY VERSES: “Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all’” ().
INTRODUCTION
“One of the greatest leaders of the twentieth century went about barefoot, wearing the simple clothes of the poor and traveling either on foot or in the cheapest railway class.
He never lived in a palace or mansion, but he chose to live in the slums among the poor people he loved.
His name was Gandhi, and he led a nonviolent struggle to shake off British rule and bring self-government to the people of India.
He was a moral and political leader, yet he led with humble servanthood rather than by political power.
Though he was of the Hindu religion, he studied the life of Jesus and patterned his actions after His model of servanthood.
In 1931, Gandhi went to several European nations to visit the leaders of various states.
Wherever he went, he took a goat with him as a symbol of his own lowliness and humility.
When he went to Rome to call on the Italian dictator Mussolini, he arrived as always—dressed in old beggar’s clothes, leading his goat by a rope.
Mussolini’s children cried when they saw the thin, bald, powerless-looking man, but the dictator snapped at them and ordered them silent.
‘That scrawny old man and his scrawny old goat,’ he said, ‘are shaking the British Empire’”
There is great power in true servitude and Jesus modeled it perfectly in his word.
().
The kingdom of God is not about who is the greatest;
Jesus himself was the supreme example of Greatness, yet vailed his glory by commenting in (mrk 8:31) on he was the “Son of Man” and became a the ultimate servant unto death.
“Son of Man” and became a the ultimate servant unto death
“Ransom” (Lytron)-Noun found in matt “The price of release” for “many” means “All”
For us to accomplish His Kingdom mindedness, we must have a “selfless humility”.
“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus” ().
Chesterfield quoted on….
Humility, is
“Never to seem more learned than the people you are with.
Wear your learning like a pocket-watch and keep it hidden.
Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked”
Another words We know who we are, But when someone Ask….Then tell them.
I. ESTABLISHING THE KINGDOM MINDEDNESS
A. God Came to Save
1. Through the Incarnation, God became a servant.
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” ().
“For electricity to be useful, it must pass through an electrical transformer.
The transformer reduces the power to whatever a particular building needs and can accommodate without the power destroying it.
Without this reduction, everything in the house would burn up.
Jesus Christ brought God down to us—into the practical realm of our daily lives.
He did not diminish God or His holiness; He merely revealed Him and brought Him to us in a way we could comprehend”.
“Jesus Christ . . .
tasted fully of the human experience and overcame temptation so that He can empathize with and care for us when we are tempted.
Jesus can mend our broken hearts, help us when we stumble, and comfort us when we have to say goodbye to loved ones.
He can console us when the home crumbles, inspire us when we are depressed, and calm us when anxieties overwhelm our spirits”.
We must become like Christ, turn to....
Be reconciled to God” ().
To be in Christ resulted from being Born Again ()
Application:
To be in Christ resulted from being Born Again (Jn 3:5)
We must become like Christ first being Born Again, by being born of “water and spirit” ()
The “Old way” ceased and the new way was to live life was for kingdom’s purpose or pleasing God.
We must share the message of ()
The word “Implore” “was to beg” for a response in order to be reconciled.
I remember what it was like to be a new creature and now I’m part of the kingdom minded.

Now let’s turn to the bible to see how...

B. Jesus Revealed God’s “Heart and Mind” to Mankind.
B. Jesus Revealed God’s Heart and Mind to Mankind.
1. Jesus revealed God’s perspective to the world (In the beatitudes).
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you”
2. Further, He taught us how to deal with our enemies.
This doesn’t sound much like a conqueror, but this is the method Jesus chose of in conquering Hate.
The Israelites Taught it was ok to hate your enemy because it was a way of showing the judgment of God on them.
But like I read last week () the “Rain”.
God’s grace is for all.
We must keep our attitudes as to not hate people, but the SIN that binds them.

“‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men’” ().

Illustration:
I never was a true fisherman.
Hated waiting in the sun.
Alway’s caught the smallest fish.
So I gave the sport up.
The Church has become the same way
A. Forsaking
“We’re no longer are fishers of men, but keepers of the aquarium, and we spend most of our time swiping fish from each other’s bowl.”
Here is a good example of someone who knows how to fish....
Her Prayer “Line”
Alta Vail of Emporia, Kansas, tells in Sunshine magazine how she found a new way to pray while ironing.
One day she was thinking about the different kinds of lines—bus lines, clothes lines, fishing lines, telephone lines.
Why not a prayer line?
