The Servant Church

At its best, the church helps those in need and makes the world a better place. But why can’t we serve on our own? Why do we need the church? The truth is that we can serve on our own, but we are better when we serve together. Service is about more than helping someone in need. It’s also about transforming hearts. There is no better way to become a more deeply committed disciple of Jesus than to serve as he served alongside another disciple. What is God calling you to do for others this week?
