Book excerpt: What prompted the Samaritan man to pause? Why did Jesus prefer Mary's actions over Martha's? And the seventy-two anonymous recruits in Luke 10, who were they? In our personal lives and as a church, a life geared toward service is the best way to live. So what does it look like to live a serve-oriented life? How would the church shift its influence if it loved through action? A life of service can be different. When we are tired, and our schedules are haggard and crazy. It's hard to put others before ourselves. And yet, at the end of the day we question the big things like purpose and contentment. We wonder, "How could this look different?" In SERVE, we dive into Luke 10 and discover that Jesus was the advocate and voice of "SERVE." From watching Him, we learn what it looks like to serve with excitement, creativity, excellence, discipline, vigor ... and yes, even how to take rest stops along the way. Join the journey and learn how to put others first in a me-first world.
