Sunday 6:00 AM

Our service is rooted in:
1. The Lordship of Jesus
2. The Teaching of Jesus
3. The Example of Jesus
Serving is about:
1. Identity: It's a part of who I am.
2. Posture: It's how I see the world.
3. Action: It's what I do.

Practice Guide:

1. Read Philippians 2:1-11 everyday this week, and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you about humility and service.

2. Pray these words throughout the week: "Jesus, help me remember that you humbled yourself by taking on the form of a servant. Help me follow your example. Help me see opportunities to serve others all around me, every day; big or small, hidden or public. Make me increasingly interruptible, and give me great joy as I offer up my time and energy for the sake of others. Amen."

3. Commit to an act of service this week, and don't tell anyone about it.

4. Next time you're interrupted, respond with your full attention and try to find a way to serve that person. View it as an invitation to grow in humility and kindness.

5. Meet a practical need for someone this week. (One that's not part of your normal routine).
