Jesus measures greatness by service, not status*
Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Mark 10:43 (MSG)
The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige, and position. If you can demand service from others, you've arrived. In our self-serving culture with its me-first mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept.
SUNDAY 10AM: PRAYER MEETING
If you like to pray please come to our prayer meeting room next Sunday to pray from 10-10:30AM. Pastor Gino will lead the meeting and will be available to pray with you too.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
