    What did Jesus teach? Servant hood. Throughout His life He always put others first before Himself. Everyday He would spend time with His Father alone in prayer to prepare Himself for His day ahead, in teaching, healing, praying, but mostly serving.

We want to be recognized for a job well done, for boldly helping others, for supporting a cause we believe in. It is our nature, our human nature, but the words of Christ teach us otherwise. Within the ...read more
