The True Servant

John 13:1-15

How do you spend your resources and time? And which topics dominate your thoughts and conversation? These are a few indicators of goals that become driving forces in your life. You may long for worldly recognition, but God has a higher calling for His children. Ask Him to foster a servant’s attitude in your heart.

The Call to Serve

Philippians 2:7-9

How do you define success? A common response is “achieving our predetermined goals.” Scripture’s definition, however, is different. The Lord desires that we discover His plan, obey, and become all that He intended. In other words, for success in the biblical sense, God sets the goals for our lives.

The Impact of Prayer

Matthew 7:7-11

God’s Word tells us that He is faithful because He cannot deny Himself (2 Tim. 2:13). Be certain to set aside time every day to talk and listen to Him, and you will learn this truth firsthand.

The Prayer in Believer’s Life

Isaiah 57:15

The heavenly Father longs for an intimate relationship with His children. Time spent in communication with God is the best way to grow close to Him.

The Cost of our Salvation

Philippians 2:5-8

Our Savior suffered greatly on our behalf, shedding His blood so we might become part of God’s family (John 1:12). He calls us to a life of sacrificial service—doing the Father’s work and living to please Him. In light of what our salvation cost, how can we do anything less?
