The document discusses proper alignment to God. It notes that while God intended man to rule over creation, the earth and all it contains belong to God. Dominion and greatness have been marred by sin. True greatness is achieved not through lording over others but by proper alignment to God through humility and service, as exemplified by Jesus.

2. But whoever would be great among you must be
your servant, and whoever would be first among
you must be your slave,
Matthew 20:26-27 (ESV)

4. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all
the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your
foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your
fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have
set in place, what is man that you are mindful of
him, and the son of man that you care for him?

5. Yet you have made him a little lower than the
heavenly beings and crowned him with glory
and honor. You have given him dominion over
the works of your hands; you have put all things
under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the
beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and
the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the
paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in
all the earth!
Psalm 8 (ESV)

6. “In the world you will have tribulation. But take
heart; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 (ESV)

11. Proper alignment to God
POINT #1: God intended man to rule over
creation, however the earth and everything in it
belong to God.

12. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness. And let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the
heavens and over the livestock and over all the
earth and over every creeping thing that creeps
on the earth.”
So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God he created him; male and female
he created them.
Genesis 1:26-27 (ESV)

13. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein,

15. For the creation waits with eager longing for the
revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was
subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of
him who subjected it, in hope that the creation
itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption
and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children
of God. For we know that the whole creation has
been groaning together in the pains of childbirth
until now.
Romans 8:19-22 (ESV)

17. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know
that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and
their great ones exercise authority over them. It
shall not be so among you. But whoever would be
great among you must be your servant, and
whoever would be first among you must be your
slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be
served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom
for many.”
Matthew 20:25-28 (ESV)
