This Sunday, May 17, 2020, Jesus is going to be teaching us about what true greatness looks like. We’ll see that if we want to follow Jesus in greatness, then we need to follow Jesus in listening to the Father and serving God’s people. Use this prayer guide to help you prepare your heart to hear and embrace what God has for you this Sunday.
