The Power of Purpose Pt 2 | Gary Thomas | West Campus
Summary
The sermon addresses the human desire to be significant or a "big deal," referencing the Ron Burgundy movie scene and contrasting it with a Facebook survey. It highlights that while wanting impact and to be used by God is not wrong, true greatness in God's kingdom is achieved through child-like humility, not personal ambition, as exemplified by Jesus' teachings and the failures of those with wrong motivations like Adam and Eve. The practical takeaway is to pursue significance God's way, through humility, rather than self-aggrandizing ambition.
