Living as a Christian isn’t the same as the rest of the world population. Not that we’re better, but we do have to keep our focus; intentional action and reliance on God. Let’s look closer at what God is instructing us through Paul’s instructions to the believers in Ephesus.

Our time together isn’t just filling seats. It’s about transformation and participation. What does that mean? What does that look like? Let’s dig in to what it truly means to BE the church?

Even Jesus didn’t exist to be served, but to serve others. That’s what we are designed to do. Our lives should be interactive. Love is the act of living together with others, reflecting God and giving grace.

Let’s look at how God is instructing us to serve others today.

Paul brings us an appeal for unity and selflessness. We should — in humility — consider others better than ourselves.

We are called to shape our lives in Christ’s image. Jesus lived by service, not domination. He was God, and could have — rightly — dominated over all men. But he did not. So, how did Jesus live?

As C. S. Lewis said: “Humility is not thinking of less of yourself, but thinking of yourself… less.”

Are we willing to humble ourselves and serve others, even when it is inconvenient? Let’s discuss how we can model the image of Christ; the humility he brought to model and the love he gave simply because it was right.
