Serving our Community

WELCOME

There is so much suffering in the world that we sometimes become immune to it. God pushes us to serve our community and have compassion on others. That might mean we need to relearn compassion Jesus felt for the broken and hurting world.

Work is connected to telling a good story with your life. The goal is faithfulness to God, people, and place. Any work that accomplishes this work is worth pursuing and doing.

02. EXPLORE: LIVING IN COMMUNITY

[Q] In a society so full of need, how do we develop “gut wrenching” compassion followed by intentional acts of mercy? 

 

Evaluate: The opposite of love is not hate – it is selfishness.

 

Evaluate: A faith that is secure in Christ sees opportunities for service everywhere.

03. SERVE: LIVING IN COMMUNITY

 
Point to Ponder: Might my call to serve the community be beyond “my community”?
Agree/Disagree: Our service to others, when done in the name of Christ, is not burdensome; it is a privilege. In a sense, serving others well may be the most “selfish” thing we do.
