CHARACTER WOW
Service versus self-centeredness (Philippians 2:19-21)
Declaration: I am available to serve whomever God puts in my path.”
Serving others is an essential part of the Christian faith. Jesus went out of his way to illustrate the importance of service when he stooped to wash the disciples feet in John 13:1-17. Later, the Apostle Paul wrote that we should all take on the same attitude of Christ and become a servant (Philippians 2:1-8).
When Paul planned to Send Timothy to Philippi, he had these words to say of him, “I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.”
Live to serve; serve to grow.
Story: The boy with the five loaves of bread and two fish (John 6:1-13)
Quote: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Mahatma Gandhi
