Selfless Service

Jesus modeled the kind of selfless service He called His disciples to practice. In fact, it was the selfless service of the early Christians that attracted the attention of the entire Roman world and led to the rapid growth of the first-century church. Join us for part two of Selfless where we will learn the secret to selfless service and why it is still essential for following Jesus.

“When you serve more, you take less.
When you give more, you need less.
When you thank more, you want less.
When there’s more of God, you’re selfless.”

Craig Groeschel
