Lesson #2 Examining Jesus' Head

In our second message from the 4H – Living Like Jesus series, Pastor Jamie Allen turned our focus to Jesus’ head—His mindset, His motives, and His model of leadership.

Big Idea: Jesus was the perfect leader with perfect motives. His leadership motive was to make a positive difference.

We often talk about having the heart of Jesus, but what about His head—the way He thought, what drove His decisions, and how He led people? In Mark 10:35–45, two of Jesus' closest followers, James and John, boldly ask Him for positions of honor in His coming Kingdom. They weren’t seeking responsibility—they were seeking recognition. Their motives revealed a mindset rooted in status, not service.

But Jesus flips the script. He explains that greatness in His Kingdom doesn't come from climbing to the top; it comes from kneeling to serve. Leadership in God's eyes is not about power or praise—it’s about sacrifice.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” – Mark 10:45

This powerful verse reveals the motive behind every decision Jesus made. His leadership was never about position—it was about purpose. And He invites us to follow Him in that same way.

Three Truths We Can Learn from Jesus' Head:

Check your motives. Are you leading for applause or to make a difference?
Service is the highest calling. True greatness is measured in humility.
Follow the example of Jesus. He led with love, not ego.

As we continue our 4H journey—Heart, Head, Hands, and Habits—this week we ask: Do I have the head of Jesus? Am I thinking like Him, leading like Him, and serving like Him?

📅 Join us next week for Lesson #3 – “Jesus’ Hands” as we keep exploring what it means to live like Jesus from the inside out.

Let’s grow together!
