Faith Family Church

Make a Difference | We are at our best when serving others.

Making a difference means:

1. Serving others.

Serving transforms the one who is serving, it changes us.

Making a difference means:

2. Following Jesus’ example.

Why did Jesus wash feet?

1. For Jesus, it was the display of His humility and servanthood in loving others.
2. For the disciples, it displayed a mindset in direct contrast to their heart attitude at that time.
3. For us, it is symbolic of our role in the body of Christ: to make a difference by serving.

True leadership in God’s Kingdom is defined by service, not status.

Making a difference means:

3. Recognizing we are called to serve.

Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
…Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

Making a difference means:

4. Staying faithful, persistent, and consistent.

Serving is not just an obligation; it’s a privilege and a blessing.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
