Bible Text: Philippians 2:19-30 |

Series:

We all know too well the struggle against putting ourselves at the centre of our faith. The ease and comfort of “consumer Christianity” where we just enjoy being served and treat Christ and his Church as a commodity to be used is a temptation that can trip up even the most seasoned of believers. But as one writer once said, “We are saved to serve” and not out of guilt, or begrudged obligation, but out of joy and gratitude to the God who saved us! It’s why we believe that one of the core attributes of a life truly devoted to Jesus Christ is that they would work for him.
