Description

In today’s episode, we explore why Christians are called to serve and what that looks like in a divided, individualistic culture. We discuss service as an essential discipline that not only glorifies God but seeks the flourishing of humanity. This episode sheds light on how service shapes us, draws us closer to Christ, and reflects God’s love to the world around us


Key Definition:
The spiritual practice of service is a way of life that reflects the helping, caring, and sharing love of God in the world. - Adele Calhoun (Spiritual Disciplines Handbook)

Main Takeaways:

• God designed us to serve to help creation flourish (Genesis 1:26-27) and to point to his glory. (Matthew 5:13-16).
• Service is self-sacrificial and grounded in mercy and compassion, as illustrated by Jesus in the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-35).
• Our motivation for serving comes from how God has served us through Christ. (Romans 12:1)

Weekly Challenge:
Think of one person you interact with regularly (friend/family member/coworker) and ask God to show you one way you can serve them this week.
