In a world that celebrates being first, do you have the courage to be last?
Jesus gave us many teachings that are deep and complex, but He also gave us commands that are breathtakingly simple—simple to understand, yet incredibly difficult to live out. One of the hardest is the call to be a servant. It goes against our human nature to give without expecting anything in return, to serve rather than to be served.
In this video, “Be a Servant,” we examine the counter-cultural mandate of the Christian life. It is easy to admire servanthood from a distance, but it is another thing entirely to get our hands dirty in the lives of others. Yet, this is exactly the path our Savior walked, and it is the path He calls us to follow.
In this essential lesson, we focus on:
- The Challenge of Selflessness: Acknowledging why giving ourselves away is one of the hardest things we will ever do.
- The Example of Christ: Looking to Jesus, not just as a Savior, but as the ultimate model of service.
- Practical Generosity: Moving beyond good intentions to tangible acts of serving those around us.
My friend, greatness in God’s kingdom isn’t measured by how many people serve you, but by how many people you serve. Let’s learn together how to take up the towel and basin.
