    The Heart Of A Servant Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 2, 2006
    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,723 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

The man overwhelmed by the sheer luxury of it all asked, "How much does this place cost per night?" Peter replied, "Sir, this is Heaven, it doesn’t cost ...read more

    When God calls us to serve Him, He enables us. Stop looking at your own puny ability and listen to what God is calling us to. Give to God what you have, and let Him work wonders through them and accomplish His purposes.

    How would you respond to God if He comes to you and said? • Listen I have an awesome task for you to accomplish. • It will be part of my plan to redeem the world to myself. • It will involve miracles, signs, and wonders. • It will involve the splitting of the Red Sea and the leading more than ...read more
