Jesus washed Judas' feet, even when he knew Judas would betray him. We can not let the possibility of people hurting us to keep us from serving.

We serve to reflect Christ, not nust for social value; that which is done for flesh has no eternal value.

A rebuke, a correction is an act of love if done with a heart of love.

Our relationship with Christ is caught, not taught. It is more effective seen than spoken, so we must make sure our words are backed up by our actions.

The righteousness of God is revealed step by step. Even the best of students don't connect all the dots at one time.

We will always grow if we are willing to look, listen and respond.

It is not because I served, but because of who served me first.

All are called to be servants

All servants of Christ are called to be servants to all.
