Serving the Church with Love and Dedication
Understanding who Jesus is should naturally lead us to serve His church with love and dedication. The church is not a platform for self-glorification but a community where the light of Jesus is reflected in a dark world. By serving the church, we align ourselves with Jesus' mission and demonstrate our love for what He loves.
Service within the church is an expression of our faith and commitment to Jesus' mission. It is an opportunity to reflect His love and grace to others, building a community that embodies His teachings. As believers, we are called to serve with humility and dedication, recognizing that our service is an act of worship and a testament to our love for Jesus.
Mark 10:45 (KJV): "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
Reflection: In what ways can you serve your local church community this week? How can your service reflect the love and mission of Jesus?
