Key number 1: Jesus the servant King

Jesus modeled his whole ministry on servanthood and so should we. Jesus is God and has the authority of God yet at the same time he served us to beyond the point of death.

Essentially he gave up everything in order to serve us!

Often we hear the question “are we giving our lives in order to serve God?” But the question we should ask based on the example of Jesus is this, “are we giving our lives in order to serve each other?”

We can Love, and believe in, and worship God all we like, but if this doesn’t translate into serving each other to the point of sacrifice then we are not reflecting Jesus and what he died for at all.

“I want to be his hands and his feet” on this earth

Thanks! Grant is our youth pastor @ church, so I think if anyone is experienced in knowing how to serve, it's him :)

I've checked out your blog a couple of times, and it's great! I may have to subscribe, just so I don't get assaulted by pink/purple everytime I visit...
