    I have borrowed a lot of this sermon from Rick Warren's book The Purpose Driven Life, chapter 34, "Thinking Like a Servant." In that chapter, Warren suggests that there are five attitudes that servants need to have.

    Introduction: A. Someone has said, “Some minds are like concrete; thoroughly mixed and permanently set.” 1. How about you? How is your thinking? 2. Are you spiritually minded? Do you have the mind of a servant? 3. Or is your mind like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set in a ...read more
