The Way Up Is Down: Serve One Another Series

Contributed by Dan Raymond on Mar 7, 2016

However, for many people, serving doesn't conjure up a positive image. Instead, they think of endless menial chores, cleaning up other people's messes, and catering to their vain whims. Yet the New Testament calls us to become servants of one another.

I mean what does a servant look like? What picture comes to mind? It's possible that you have a positive image. ...read more

Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 2, 2022

“Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?” In other words, will other Christians pay the price while we are secret disciples? Will others witness while we keep silent? Will others work in the church while we just obtain the benefits?
