Jesus taught those who follow him that whoever wants to be first needs to be a servant.

"For even the Son of Man (a divine reference to himself) did NOT come to be served,

but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom."

This means that the first act of ministry for a Christian is receive Christ's ministry to us.

His service precedes and fuels our own ministries.

We are at our best when everything we do as a church individually and collectively

flows out of his ministry to us and thus through us.

Our LIFE TOGETHER, 

every moment, every dollar, every ministry

is a joyful li of worship, 

a HUGE "thank you" to Jesus

that flows out of his unceasing love for us.
