How are we to serve?

This week Drew Hinds was interviewed and he spoke about how God has used significant relationships in his life to shape him. He also spoke about how God is allowing him to share his faith with others. The leadership team acknowledgd that Drew and Christin live lives that welcome others and through their love people come to know Christ!

Jason and Andy shared about service and what true service is.

"God brings me into the proper relationship with Himself so that I can understand His call, and then I serve Him on my own out of a motivation of absolute love."
- My Utmost For His Highest (Jan 17th)

Andy then read a passage of "Dangerous Surrender". Ultimately, when we serve others, we serve Christ. We can't serve Christ by giving him a drink on the cross when he was thirsty, or by putting clothes on his back, etc. But we do serve him when we serve those around us. We do when we enter into relationship and let ourselves be hurt by the things that are hurting others.

So, this week be challenged to ask God, "Because of my love for you, who are you calling me to serve?"
