The Lowest Seat
From Pride to Purpose | Luke 14:1–14 | Why Jesus Calls Us to Take the Lowest Seat
Have you ever caught yourself silently competing for the “best seat” – whether at a wedding, at work, or even in church?
In Luke 14:1-14, Jesus disrupts our pride-driven instincts and flips the world’s rules of honor upside down. He teaches that “everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
This sermon explores how pride poisons our relationships and isolates us, and how Christ Himself took the lowest seat – at the cross – so that we could be lifted up and seated at God’s table. Drawing from C.S. Lewis, Dante’s Divine Comedy, and the Gospel itself, we’ll see that true spiritual maturity begins with humility, and tiny hidden acts of grace in daily life.
If you’ve ever wrestled with comparison, envy, or the pressure to prove yourself, this message is for you.
Join us as we journey “From Pride to Purpose” in Luke’s Gospel.

Involving Others
Okay, I’ve gone. I’ve confronted. Nothing is resolved. Here are three potential next steps and how to choose between them.
[Jesus said,] “If a believer does something wrong, go, confront him when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back that believer. But if he does not listen, take one or two others with you so that every accusation may be verified by two or three witnesses.”
“If he ignores these witnesses, tell it to the community of believers. If he also ignores the community, deal with him as you would a heathen or a tax collector.” – Matthew 18:15-17 (GW)

Go Confront
When do I overlook disagreements? When do I go talk with the person? If I go, how should I approach him or her? Discover four “Go” signs and four “How-to’s” to guide your actions.
Brothers and sisters, if a person gets trapped by wrongdoing, those of you who are spiritual should help that person turn away from doing wrong. Do it in a gentle way. At the same time watch yourself so that you also are not tempted. Help carry each other’s burdens. In this way you will follow Christ’s teachings. – Galatians 6:1-2 (GW)

Resolving Conflict
Resolve everyday conflict using the four G’s of Biblical conflict resolution.
As holy people whom God has chosen and loved, be sympathetic, kind, humble, gentle, and patient. Put up with each other, and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Above all, be loving. This ties everything together perfectly. Also, let Christ’s peace control you. God has called you into this peace by bringing you into one body. Be thankful. – Colossians 3:12-15 (GW)
