John the Baptist said it simply: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” That one sentence is the heartbeat of this series. Real growth in Christ is not about becoming a better version of yourself — it’s about getting yourself out of the way. This series works through the specific places where that has to happen: your identity, your thoughts, your desires, your priorities, your need for control. It’s honest, it’s personal, and it doesn’t let us stay comfortable. And it ends where surrender always ends — not in loss, but in a life that points to something greater than itself.
What would your life look like if Jesus was truly greatest in every part of it — not just on Sundays, but in the way you think, what you want, how you spend your time, and who you believe you are? This series, There is None Greater, is an honest and personal look at what it really means to follow Jesus with your whole life. Each week we’ll dig into a different area where Christ is calling us to let go and let Him lead. If you’ve ever felt like something is missing in your walk with God, this series is for you. We’d love for you to join us each week on Thursday or Sunday as we discover together what it means to make Him truly greater.
April 19 – The Great Exchange
John the Baptist models what it looks like to surrender the spotlight willingly. Standing at the crossroads of his own ministry and the rise of Jesus, he refuses to compete — not out of defeat, but out of clarity. His declaration, “I am not the Messiah,” is not resignation; it is alignment. We cannot make Jesus greater in our lives while we are still striving to be great ourselves. Comparison and competition are exposed as enemies of calling. Decreasing is not loss — it is the path to rightful order.
April 26 – Make Him Greater in Your Identity
The most foundational question every believer must answer is not what do I do? but who am I? Paul’s declaration — “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live” — frames identity not as something to be discovered, but as something to be surrendered and replaced. The old self is not coached or improved; it is put to death so that Christ’s life can be lived through the believer. Many followers of Jesus still operate from a self-constructed identity, and that false foundation quietly undermines everything else in the Christian life.
May 3 – Make Him Greater in Your Thoughts
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Destructive thought patterns — strongholds — are not overcome by willpower alone but through the active, spiritual work of taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. What we think about consistently shapes who we become, which means the mind is not neutral territory. It is the place where growth or stagnation begins. Spiritual maturity is inseparable from mental discipline, and believers are called to treat the renewal of the mind as serious spiritual warfare, not just positive thinking.
May 10 – Make Him Greater in Your Desires
A common misconception in the Christian life is that the goal is better behavior. Paul’s teaching on walking by the Spirit reveals something deeper — the Holy Spirit’s work goes far beneath behavior modification. He rewires what we actually want. Holiness is not the suppression of desire but its transformation. Believers are called to examine what they are feeding — spiritually, mentally, relationally — and to trust that genuine sanctification changes the appetite, not just the action.
May 17 – Make Him Greater in Your Priorities
The calendar and the schedule are among the most honest tests of what is actually greatest in a person’s life. Jesus’ command to seek the Kingdom first is a direct confrontation with the busyness that quietly crowds out surrender. Many believers give God what is left over rather than what comes first. Kingdom-first living is not just a spiritual posture — it reorders every other commitment, relationship, and decision around what matters most to God.
May 24 – Make Him Greater in Your Surrender
Jesus’ call to daily cross-bearing exposes something uncomfortable: partial surrender is still control. True surrender is not a one-time decision but a daily, moment-by-moment yielding of one’s will, plans, and self-preservation to Christ. The cross is not a religious symbol to be admired from a distance — it is a personal invitation to die to self so that Christ might truly live and reign. This message presses past comfortable Christianity into the territory of total Lordship.
May 31 – Make Him Greater in Your Influence
Light cannot stay hidden. Influence is not optional — every believer affects the people around them, either intentionally or by default. Jesus’ image of a city on a hill makes clear that a transformed life is inherently visible, and that visibility carries responsibility. The goal is not personal platform or self-promotion but Christ-revelation. When Jesus is truly greatest in a person’s life, that life becomes a living testimony to His greatness.
