Be part of SERVolution

Have you ever had one of those days where you felt like you were gonna bust? You couldn't get enough done. You were excited. Maybe even your heart wass racing and your blood pressure wass up. For me ... that's today.

I can't wait for our church family to join over 230 churches over the next week being part is SERVolution. What is that? It's simply doing acts of kindness that point people to Jesus. And I want to invite you to join The Community in what we are doing or to serve through kindness right where you are. Be part of SERVolution!

Why? People must see Jesus. By serving others we open the door for them to see Jesus and talk Him too.

Matthew 20:28 (nlt) --- 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.

One thing that honestly I can't understand and makes me sick is people who say they love God yet rarely serve others. Jesus gave every thing. He held nothing back. The church is here NOT TO BE SERVED but TO SERVE. Do you agree? If yes, then take a hard look at your life and your church. If no, stop reading now and delete all the e-devotions you get from me in the future.

I believe that I am called to invite you to live with Jesus and to live for Jesus. Therefore, I ask you to be part of SERVolution. Check out more info at www.servolution.org.

The stories we will hear and the lives that will be changed because a few people stepped out to serve will be worth all the effort. Be part of SERVolution.

Pray for the 236 churches taking part in SERVolution and the impact each will have on their community.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
