Serve

How do we know if we can trust our desires and ambitions? How should we think about power? Here Jesus paints a counterintuitive and countercultural vision for dealing with these important dynamics.

What makes us feel like we’re somebody? Instead of tweaking our assumptions, Jesus turns things upside down and offers a radically different and refreshingly contrasting vision of life from what we’re used to.

How do we find deep purpose in life? How do we grow and mature as a person? How can a person of faith be a peace-maker when religion so often is divisive? We’ll discuss how each of these important questions are addressed in this passage.

Falling in love with the Bible is like experiencing the joyous and rewarding journey of a fine meal, discovering a diet that balances personal growth and communal service.

In his final words, Jesus prays for a glory that will last forever. True glory, the kind that doesn’t fade or falter, is born from suffering but built to share, transforming our lives into a meaningful mission for the good of others.

The night before he died, Jesus shared with his closest friends and followers powerful words from an upper room in Jerusalem. They offer “upper room” perspective, purpose, and peace for us, when we feel limited to the constraints of life in this “lower room” world.
