So what happened and what can we learn from Joseph's experience that will guide us into a similar fullness of life? .

When we serve others, we reflect the heart of Jesus.Opening Question:Who's the most generous person you've ever met—not with money, but with their presence, their time, their service?Examples:Ken - oversees benevolence, goes over the topMike and Emma - in their 80's, pulling weeds at the churchClean team members - washing toilets for JesusSome leadership philosophies say, ‘Don't get your hands dirty—delegate the dirty work.'From The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli: Power and control define leadership. Servanthood is seen as weakness.So some have concluded that servants should stay at the lower levelsAnd executives should rise to the top and STOP servingIt doesn't help the organization for them to get their hands dirtyBut Jesus didn't climb some ladder and retreat from people. He stepped down from heaven. He picked up a towel. He washed feet. He gave his life.That's generosity that gets its hands dirty. And that's the kind of generosity Jesus calls us to.Series Recap:Generosity is giving to others through a selfless act without expecting anything in return. Week 1: The Generosity of GodHe gives love, provision, guidance—overflowing.Our generosity starts as a response to His generosity.Week 2: Generous in GivingFinancial generosity matters—it reflects the heart.But it's not the whole picture.If we think generosity only happens when we write a check, we miss the life Jesus is calling us to.Today's focus: Generosity that takes action. That sees needs and serves. This is about serving others with the heart of Jesus.Jesus Modeled Generous ServanthoodMatthew 20:25-28 25 But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. 26 But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. 28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”The disciples were arguing about status. Jesus reframed it.“Whoever wants to be great must be a servant.”Jesus didn't just talk about service—he...
God will work through any person whose heart is submitted to Him.
Garth Heckman TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com The David Alliance What are the marks of a man in history? Across the globe, various cultures have developed unique and often intense rituals to mark a young male's transition into manhood. These rites of passage serve to test physical and mental fortitude, impart cultural knowledge, and solidify the individual's place within the community. Here are a few examples: Amazonian Tribes (e.g., Sateré-Mawé): A particularly grueling ritual involves the "bullet ant glove." Young men must wear gloves filled with hundreds of highly venomous bullet ants, enduring excruciating pain to demonstrate their strength and resilience. Ethiopian Tribes (e.g., Hamar): The "bull-jumping" ceremony requires young men to leap across the backs of several cattle, proving their agility and courage. Pacific Islands (e.g., Vanuatu): "Land diving" involves young men jumping from tall wooden towers with vines tied to their ankles, a dangerous feat that tests their bravery. Australian Aboriginal Cultures: "Walkabout" is a traditional journey where young men venture into the wilderness for extended periods, learning survival skills and cultural knowledge. Various African Cultures: Circumcision rituals are common, symbolizing the transition from boyhood to manhood. There are also many cultures that have rituals that include periods of isolation, where the young men are taught the traditional laws, and history of their people. Jewish Culture: The Bar Mitzvah, at age 13, marks a young man's religious coming-of-age, signifying his responsibility to observe Jewish law. These rituals often involve: Physical endurance: Tests of strength, pain tolerance, and survival skills. Spiritual or ceremonial elements: Rituals that connect the individual to their cultural heritage and beliefs. Community recognition: Public ceremonies that acknowledge the young man's new status within the group. Instruction and knowledge transfer: Older men imparting essential skills and cultural wisdom to the initiates. It's important to approach these cultural practices with respect and understanding, recognizing their significance within their respective communities. What are my three marks of a man in todays world? Here are the three I think are relevant for your society. Save your virginity until marriage Serve others as a lifestyle Evangelize the lost - tell others about Jesus Why these three? They do three things… Evangelism: It challenges you to learn. You must learn scripture, learn how to read people. Learn how to share the gospel with differing people, belief systems and environments. Learn how to answer questions that have a biblical backing, loving in nature and make God look good. And how to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. Servanthood. It challenges you to live outside your world and the worlds view (its all about me - its all about what my eyes want, my soul wants, my appetites want, what my pride wants… servanthood crushes that) One should monthly - and honestly more than once a month… but you should be serving in a capacity where you help others less fortunate than you. There are dozens of areas… food pantry, boys club, Prison ministry, Tutor kids, babysit for single parents, visit a nursing home, Go hand out sandwiches to the homeless, help your church in some serving role, houses for humanity, work at a pet shelter… And part of serving is giving your money and not just your time. They challenge you to learn discipline and reliance on the Holy Spirit to tame your most powerful, lustful and fleshly desires. If you can't tame your sex drive you will never fully be able to serve God with all your heart. It is the proving ground of truly wanting to be a man of God - more than evangelism and servanthood. If a girl/woman wants to marry a Christian man and he cannot handle is sex drive than he is simply confessing through his actions that his fleshly desires are more important than God and his word.
The power of suffering: embrace the cross. The call to servanthood: greatness in serving others. The ultimate act of sacrifice: giving everything

Many of us fall into the trap of falling captive to negative thoughts about our circumstances and even how we view ourselves. How we view God and how we view ourselves is critical to understanding our position before the Lord. Learning to re-learn new behaviors in light of God's word is critical to our growth in the Lord.

Why do we often look up to Christian celebrities instead of anonymous servants? And why, when we think about finding a place of service in the local church, do we usually gravitate toward positions that will put us in the spotlight and give us recognition, rather than gravitating toward anonymous, thankless jobs? Today we’re looking […]

Just like with the Pharisees, it's important to understand what Jesus is and is not saying as He interprets the law of retribution. It is wrong to think that Jesus means that evil is never to be resisted, He has demonstrated by His life a discernment in accepting insults and also in overturning tables. For most of us it is easy to stand for our rights and seek retribution when wronged. What's difficult is to lay aside our rights, allow wrong to go seemingly unaddressed and to trust God for our defense. We need the Lord's help and wisdom to discern the right thing to do and the right time to do it so that we can love each other well. Prepare for this week's message by reading Matthew 5-7 giving special focus to 5:38-42

Everyone wants a leader—until they don't like how they lead. Is the issue bad leadership, or just not liking what's being said?

There’s plenty of debate around the subject of predestination and free will. The Bible teaches that God has known since before the creation of the world who would choose Him and who would reject Him. To those who receive Him He has given the right to become children of God. Who are the “elect” spoken of in Scripture? Find out in this thought-provoking podcast episode.

Join us for the start of Part 4 in Isaiah: Servanthood & Power on the first Sunday of 2025.
Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss the call to servanthood and evangelism and emphasize how Jesus' teaching that true greatness in God's kingdom comes through humble service. Jesus demonstrated this principle by performing tasks like washing His disciples' feet, an act avoided even by bondservants- people who had indebted themselves and were working off their debt. His example highlights that leadership is rooted in serving others, and those who seek to lead must adopt a servant's heart.Evangelism, similarly, is framed as an act of service. Despite personal reluctance, sharing the gospel is both an expression of love and obedience to God. Ray's story of witnessing a life transformed through evangelism underscores the profound impact service can have. Believers are called to serve all people, recognizing that even mundane tasks, when done with care and reverence, honor God and contribute to His kingdom.Service is not merely a duty but an act of worship. Scripture encourages believers to serve the Lord with gladness, turning routine actions into opportunities for spiritual growth. Mark's experience of praying over place settings while he was working illustrates how intentional service deepens faith, breaking the cycle of going through the motions in spiritual life. Creative acts of worship, like writing poetry or heartfelt prayer, also foster a deeper connection with God.Servanthood begins at home, where practical acts of love and care build a foundation for a servant's heart. Loving one's spouse sacrificially, helping family members, and modeling Christ-like behavior for children are essential. Serving the local church is another key aspect of servanthood. God has gifted each believer with talents intended to bless and strengthen the church community. Whether through graphic design, children's ministry, or other areas, offering time and skills fosters community and personal faith growth. A servant's mindset actively seeks ways to help others, reflecting Christ's love through action.The call to service extends even to enemies. Simple acts of kindness, such as smiling at your neighbor or bringing people to the Lord in prayer, demonstrate Christ's love. Serving in secret, without seeking recognition, cultivates humility and focuses on pleasing God. Ultimately, everything believers possess is on loan from God, meant to be used for His glory. No act of service is too small when done with a worshipful heart. The call is to embrace servanthood as a lifestyle, continually seeking ways to serve others as an expression of love and devotion to God.Send us a textThanks for listening!
