WHAT JESUS DIDN'T COME TO DO - Joe Baker - Christmas Like Jesus

Elevate City Church

Today, we’re kicking off a brand new collection of messages called Christmas Like Jesus — and it’s in this series that we want to look at the theme of Christmas through the lens of what Jesus actually came to do, and who He came to be for you and me. We want to trade in the chaos of the commercialized culture of Christmas for the true peace of Christmas. This series is very fitting for who we are as a church, if you’re new we need you to know that we are some Jesus People, we are wildly passionate about you encountering the person of Jesus, and we truly believe that Jesus changes everything. So this Christmas, Jesus is who we want to shine the spot light on. Jesus is the story we want to tell. Jesus is the banner we want to raise over this holiday season. And we want to be known as a people who truly Christmas Like Jesus…

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mark 10:35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” 36 And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” 37 And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.”

Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (I have all that I need).

Luke 12:22-23 And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

Luke 12:29-31 And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

38 Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”

40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be indignant at James and John. 42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

43 But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
