May 4 2025 Connected through Service

In this powerful message, we're reminded of our deep connection to Christ and what that truly means for our daily lives. The central theme revolves around the concept of service, drawing from Jesus' interaction with James and John in the Gospels. We see how pride can divide us, but service unites us. The story of James and John seeking positions of power serves as a cautionary tale, showing how even those closest to Jesus can fall into the trap of ambition. However, Jesus flips this worldly notion of greatness on its head, teaching that true greatness comes through serving others. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts and motivations. Are we seeking to elevate ourselves, or are we looking for opportunities to serve those around us? By embracing a life of service, we not only draw closer to Christ but also forge deeper connections with our fellow believers and our community.
