Many married couples believe they serve their spouse, but sometimes serving becomes scorekeeping: "I did this for you, so what will you do for me?" Jesus gives us a different example in Mark 10:45. He came not to be served, but to serve. Servanthood in marriage means developing a willing heart that asks, even when it costs you something, "How can I serve you today?" Listen to today's message to learn how to stop keeping score and develop a servant's heart in marriage. __________ Mark 10:45 NKJV, Philippians 2:7-8 NKJV, Titus 2:14 NKJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
How can we follow Christ's example of greatness through humble service, and are we willing to serve those others overlook? Through the life of Silas Told we see that true greatness in God's kingdom is found not in being served, but in becoming a servant. After Christ transformed his life, Silas devoted himself to teaching children and ministering to prisoners—especially condemned men facing death—bringing them the hope, peace, and salvation found in Jesus. His example challenges us to go where the need is greatest, serve without seeking recognition, and faithfully point others to the One who “came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
In “What Life Are You Building?”, Pastor Chrissy Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 6 about building a life that reflects Christ in public and in private. Paul's instructions challenge the church to reject false teaching, pursue contentment, fight the good fight of faith, guard the gospel, and place its hope in God rather than the uncertainty of wealth.Through four searching contrasts, this sermon asks whether we are building lives of comfort or discomfort, earthly wealth or eternal worship, self-indulgence or servanthood, and personal gain or generosity. Chrissy explains how correction produces maturity, why biblical knowledge should lead to humility and transformation, and how faithful generosity can draw others toward Jesus and bring glory to God.

It's said that true leadership is servanthood, and the greatest leader of all time was Jesus Christ. Servanthood is an attitude exemplified by Him. It should be the goal of each of us to live out a life like the life of Jesus. On today's program, we will meet a pastor who has lived a life of service beginning very young in ROTC and stretched over 50 years through many phases of life. Today, he serves at a Northern Florida church as a pastor of Community Service, reflecting the servanthood of Jesus.
Young people need leaders who are willing to serve, stay close, walk in truth, and refuse to give up on them. In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson speaks with Asiri Fernando, a Youth for Christ leader in Sri Lanka who has spent nearly 20 years reaching and discipling young people. Drawing from decades of ministry, Asiri reflects on the kind of leaders young people need: leaders who embrace servanthood, remain rooted in Scripture, take repentance seriously, persevere when fruit is slow, and stay close to people for the long haul. Main Points Discipleship begins with presence. Asiri describes discipleship as “unhurried lingering with people”—staying close enough for faith to be formed through relationship, example, and time. Servant leaders go down rather than climb up. Following the pattern of Jesus, leaders are called to resist the desire to make a name for themselves and instead draw close to the people they are called to serve. Young people are hungry for truth and authentic community. Asiri sees a generation growing up amid fake and artificial content that is deeply hungry for Scripture, honesty, and communities where people are willing to walk in the light. Discipleship that lasts requires Scripture, repentance, and responsibility. Asiri highlights studying the Word in community, taking repentance seriously, practising accountability, and trusting young people with meaningful opportunities to serve. Faithful leaders do not give up when people fail or fruit is slow. Asiri calls leaders to respond with meekness, humility, and steadfast commitment—even through disappointment, failure, and seasons when little visible fruit appears. Guest Bio Asiri Fernando serves with Youth for Christ Sri Lanka, leading its work in the mountain regions and providing pastoral care to staff and volunteers engaged in grassroots evangelism. He is a Bible teacher and international expositor with a deep passion for discipling young people and serving the urban poor. Asiri holds an MDiv from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and is the author of Unstoppable: Total Devotion to the Gospel.

Pastor Josh continues our sermon series, Mark. With this Sunday's theme, the servanthood of Jesus.
This week Pastor Keithen continued our Follow series in Matthew 20:25-28, where Jesus tells His disciples that greatness in the kingdom looks nothing like greatness in the world. Preaching to a room full of New Yorkers, Pastor Keithen named the "main character energy" that drives so much of this city, the ambition and grit that gets us here and keeps us here, and asked whether we've quietly assumed Jesus only wants to tweak that energy rather than replace it. He walked through four shifts from the text: from consumption to contribution, from criticism to compassion, from main character energy to a life of consecration, and from extracting from New York to laying our lives down for it. "Not so with you," Jesus says. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.
At the Last Supper Jesus reveals His coming suffering and models humble servanthood. The King gives His body and blood for His people. Greatness in the kingdom is found at the table of grace. Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net
Life is not always what it seems. What we think is good for us often isn't, and what we think is bad is often good. The same is true in spiritual life. Jesus taught us many counterintuitive principles. This week we'll look at one of his most important counterintuitive principles, as we continue our sermon series on "How to Build Beautiful Relationships the Jesus Way."

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad. From 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12, we explore five marks of a father who walks with God and serves his family well, and discover that fathering others flows from first receiving God as Father.

In this roundtable discussion, Chad Seabright, Jeremiah Bolich (JBM), and Pastor Jared sit down to dive deep into what it truly means to be a church that is spirit-led and biblically fed.The guys open up about their radical testimonies—from smoking cigarettes at a Billy Graham crusade to walking out of addiction—proving that the Holy Spirit doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. They unpack the dangerous trap of "ministering out of insecurity," exposing how easy it is to learn the mechanics of ministry while losing intimacy with the Presence.Finally, Pastor Jared breaks down the ultimate framework for Kingdom identity: Sonship vs. Servanthood, while Jeremiah shares a profound, pre-fall perspective on why God created the ultimate military-grade asset to rescue man from deficiency—our wives.Connect With The Ministries
Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Walking in Servanthood. (Ephesians, Hebrews, John, and Thessalonians)Today we're returning to a couple of verses we looked at in our last episode. (Ephesians 4:11–12) And some other New Testament verses, but you might be wondering why. Didn't we already cover this? Didn't we already talk about unity, diversity, and spiritual gifts? Yes — but now we're going to slow down and look at something far more practical: How do we actually serve one another?How do we walk in servanthood?How do we minister to real people in real situations?Every believer has a spiritual gift. Every believer has a calling. Every believer has a ministry. The only difference is the type of gift we bring. So today, I want to lay out some general principles that apply to all pastoral ministries. Principles that work in every situation, in every church, and in every relationship. And then I'll look at a few practical examples of how to support people in real‑world scenarios….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Date May 17, 2026 Synopsis In this sermon, we dismantle the cultural idol of selfish ambition to uncover the radical liberation found in Christ-like humility. We explore the "Christ Hymn" of Philippians, discovering that true divine power isn't found in climbing the ladder of empire, but in the courageous descent to serve others. By choosing the bottom, we find a unity that transcends our divisions and a love that washes the feet of both friend and betrayer alike.
