Getting Ready For The Week | Daily Rhythms - Serve Week 2

A couple of weeks ago, we paused our Devoted series to reflect on the weight of current events. In a time marked by division and darkness, Pastor Marcus reminded us not to grow weary or discouraged. Instead, he challenged us to call on the power of God—to seek His healing and restoration for both our own brokenness and that of the world around us.

We want to invite you again to take bold steps of faith by joining us in a dedicated time of fasting and prayer every Friday through the end of the year. Let’s come together and contend for revival—personally, in our communities, and across the globe.

As we continue our Devoted series, this week we focus on the transformative power of serving others—a theme deeply rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus. Pastor Marcus shared his personal journey of being nurtured by volunteers in the church, illustrating the profound impact that service can have on individual lives and the community.

This week, we are invited to reflect on the early church’s radical commitment to sharing and serving, as described in Acts 2:43–45. These early believers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, devoted themselves to a lifestyle that was countercultural—choosing to serve one another and their communities with love and generosity.

In a world that often equates success with power and accumulation, Jesus calls us to a different path—a path marked by humility, sacrificial love, and service. This week, we’ll explore what it means to redefine greatness as Jesus did: by serving others and putting their needs above our own. We’ll examine how serving not only transforms those we serve but also draws us closer to Jesus, filling us with His joy and love.

As we embark on this journey, consider how you can embody this call to serve in your own life. Reflect on the gifts and talents God has given you—and how you can use them to bless others. Whether through small acts of kindness or larger commitments, each act of service is a step toward living out the love of Christ in tangible ways.
