A Servant's Heart

Serving is the heart of God and must be the heart of the church. When the church stops serving, we become self-seeking and insufficient to the kingdom. God’s desire for us is to bring our gifts and talents and be willing to be used in the body to touch this world. This is how we become the hands and feet of Christ.

Showing always speaks louder than telling!

Serving is SHOWING people Jesus by honoring God with selflessness (Pastor Jason’s definition). There is no greater joy in life than to work in God’s kingdom. But remember, God’s kingdom does not parallel with the worlds kingdom. As a matter of fact, it works backwards. If you want to go up, then you must go down. If you want to be first, than you must be last. (Matthew 20:26-28). I know that is not easy for our ears to hear, but it is how God kingdom functions.

A Christian can only find true purpose when serving is the main objective. If you are looking to find focus for your life, then start serving. Sometimes that can mean doing what is in front of us. If we just wait for the “perfect” opportunity we may miss a God opportunity. Serving is the key to the next door in your life. God always honors a servant heart.

Serving has always been and will always be a part of the DNA of CCC. Teaching people to serve and creating a culture of servant leadership are underlying goals of every aspect of our ministry. Whether it is missions, ministry groups, small groups, children’s ministry, student ministry, young adults, nursery, or outreach, cultivating servant leadership is critical to our mission. Join me as we continue to endeavor on creating a servant leadership culture that will not just tell people Jesus loves them but will show them. After all, this is the formula that God used to show us his love in his son Jesus Christ (John 3:16). Showing always speaks louder than telling!
