Service Isn't Empty Philosophy

Pastor Paul shifts our focus this week to “owning your serve”—living out your faith through intentional, selfless action. This concept we find rooted in Ephesians 2, and Paul emphasizes that while we are saved by grace, the Father also transforms us into His workmanship, created for good works that impact others. Paul reveals the origin story of Mother’s Day, started by Anna Jarvis the true framing of the holiday is a celebration of a life of service rather than just motherhood. We should challenge our natural tendencies toward self-centeredness, because through Christ, we are transformed to serve. Real Christianity isn’t just believed—it’s something we live, and every believer is called to step into practical, everyday opportunities to serve others and meet the needs of those around us.
