Title:
William H. Willimon - "The Last and the Least" (September 23, 1979)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 38:06. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 1:01:40.

  • This sermon examines Jesus’ subversive idea of “being great and being little”. The preacher brings to his audience’s attention that, when his disciples were fighting for greatness, Jesus demanded servant leadership. Jesus identifies himself with the “little ones” that need to be served. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: "Only little ones are received. Only us little ones."
