You Are Called To Be Blessed (2/16/2025)

In this powerful message, we explore the profound truth that our purpose in life is to serve others and glorify God. The central scripture, Matthew 20:28, reminds us that Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. This teaching challenges us to shift our focus from self-centeredness to selflessness, mirroring Christ's example. We learn that true joy, fulfillment, and meaning in life come not from pursuing our own goals, but from giving ourselves away in service to others. The message draws interesting parallels between our earthly actions and eternal rewards, emphasizing that even small acts of kindness done in Jesus' name have lasting significance. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our lives and ask: Are we living to make a name for ourselves, or to glorify God's name? This teaching invites us to embrace our calling as 'bivocational ministers,' serving both in the church and in the world, and finding our true purpose in selfless love and service.
