What happens when the disciples get territorial about Jesus?

In this powerful and practical sermon, we unpack Luke 9:44–50 where the disciples are more worried about who gets the credit than who gets set free. Through sharp rebuke and a hilarious grilling metaphor, we’re reminded that Jesus isn’t our personal trophy—He’s the Savior of the entire world.

Learn how pride, exclusivity, and comparison can stunt kingdom impact and why unity in Christ matters more than denominational labels or ministry methods. If you've ever felt like others “aren’t doing it right,” this episode will challenge and encourage you to embrace humility and celebrate the bigger picture of God's work.

Let these truths guide your heart as you follow Jesus daily:

✅ Jesus isn’t just for your group.
✅ God can use people outside of your circle.
✅ Humility is the mark of greatness in God's kingdom.
