Sunday, May 23rd & Wednesday the 26th

Vision:

Matthew 20:26-28 (NLT),  “But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave.  For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

The term “volunteer” implies that one can sign-in (or check-out) of one’s duties as desired.  There’s a sense of self to the word.  What Jesus modeled was not volunteerism (an I’ll-do-God-a-favor attitude), but rather servitude (an it’s-the-least-I-can-do stance).  It’s from this position that we find true influence in the Kingdom.  Serve with a servant’s heart today and, according to Jesus, you’ll be the truest leader there is.

Information:

Men’s Momentum – Monday, May 24th at 6pm. Come as a Serve Team or Small Group – and invite neighbors, family & friends to “get hooked” with you!

Fifth Sunday NEXT WEEK – Sunday, May 30th is a fifth-Sunday.  It is the B Team’s turn to serve.  Please communicate with your Lead / Coordinator / Director if you will be out of town or not for Memorial Day weekend.

Celebration Xai-Xai – We are sending Pastors Mel and Diane Stauber to Mozambique June 1st and will celebrate this Wednesday, May 26th with cupcakes after 7pm service.  Join us!

Prayer:

Pray for humility in self and team: that we would see a need and fill it, that we would be moved by compassion, that we be compelled to serve people from a pure heart.  Pray that others would sense Christ as a result of our servant-leadership.
