The Open Doors: Sharing a Life That Really Matters

Last Sunday Dr. Daniel concluded "The Open Doors: Sharing a Life That Really Matters" sermon series with "The Open Door of Service". Before sharing his thoughts, he first demonstrated it by washing the feet of three people. He then offered a quote: "The time has come for us to replace the image of success with the image of service." 1. Servanthood is a way of thinking. There was a dispute amo

ng Jesus' disciples about who was the greatest (in terms of position, promotion and power) while Jesus was agonizing his coming death -- two contrasting sets of values. Life is not about me; it's about serving God by serving others. The one who rules must be the one who serves. 2. Servanthood is a way of feeling. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Servant leadership touches the heart. 3. Servanthood is a way of acting. How is God calling you to serve?
