    The Heart Of A Servant Series

    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,768 views

    We as humans struggle with serving anyone but ourselves. Even as Christians we have a hard time having a true servant’s heart. Jesus shares some hard words, but they are also comforting and freeing when we realize the joys of being a servant.

    Let’s face it. We don’t really like being servants. We don’t like to serve others and we don’t like to be under another’s authority. For us in the U.S. much of that stems from the 1960’s when everyone was told to question authority. We were told that anyone over 30 was the enemy. Now no one born ...read more

    Ture wisdom only comes from God. And as we gain more wisdom our faith becomes stronger. We want to serve God and we have a desire to know Him. And the more we know Him, the more we love Him.

    I read once of a man who was lost in the desert, just dying for a drink of water. He stumbled upon an old shack – a ramshackled, windowless, roofless, weather beaten old shack. He looked around and found a little shade from the heat of the desert sun. As he glanced around he saw a pump about ...read more

    Service is a critical tie that binds us to one another in love, and is one of the most vital ways that we can nurture greatness in both ourselves and our community. So how do we go about serving in the loving way that Jesus encouraged?

    When you think about serving others—why do you do it? Because I have to is the common response. What if I told you today that you could serve because you want to not because you have to?
