Power Of Serving - Week 3

from The Gathering · host Rev. Matt Miofsky

Our world tempts us every day to make life about us. We're tempted to think about what we have to do, what we have going on, what we need, but Jesus turns this way of life on its head and says that life is really found not when we focus on ourselves, but when we serve others. Serving can look a lot of different ways.Followers of Christ are meant to be people of service. That is why it is one of our practices here at The Gathering. And over the past two weeks we have talked about the power of serving, and what it can mean to serve both inside and outside of the church. But today I want to talk about something broader. Because when Jesus talks about serving, he doesn’t only mean acts of service, volunteering in the community, being on a team at church – as important as those are. But Jesus also wants us to develop a heart of service.
