Serving
What is church?
Church is not a place we go once a week for 90 minutes, but it is “Who We Are”.
Mark 10:45 says “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve...” How can we follow his example? As Peter put it “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace” (1 Peter 4:10).
So church is our calling. And it is a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week calling: towards God who sends us out into the world to do his bidding and draw people towards himself.
