“Tom Brady is a game changer on the field, in the locker room, and in life…Tom Brady is in a class by himself. He can get another coach and still be Tom Brady.” – Deion Sanders
The Way Up Is Down
Matthew 20:25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. New International Version
Matthew 20:26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave New International Version
Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” New International Version
We Are Saved People Who Serve People
G.O.A.T.'S know who they are
John 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. New Living Translation
John 13:4 So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him. New Living Translation
John 13:12 After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? 13 You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. New Living Translation
John 13:14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. 15 I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. New Living Translation
John 13:16 I tell you the truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message. 17 Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them. New Living Translation
G.O.A.T.'S see the value in others
Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. New International Version
Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; New International Version
Philippians 2:7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. New International Version
