We can all recount times of good and bad customer service, but what does it actually look like to serve? We have to make a distinction between serving and being a servant. To serve someone -or something- means we choose what we do, but being a servant means we give up that right. We like to choose where we serve, but God calls us to be a servant of all. In this week's message Lead Pastor John Carrano continues our series with teaching on service.

Reflection Questions

#10. Submission
October 8, 2017 • Craig Mathison
Have you ever thought about the difference between obedience and submission? God offers His hand to us like a father to his son, but it takes biblical submission to engage in that journey with Him. . . . Reflection Question - Lord, am I recognising those to whom You want me to submit? Am I honouring them? Can people see my submission? Challenge - Let's apply biblical submission to all areas of our lives! Scripture - Matthew 20:25-28 - Philippians 2:3-8 - Ephesians 5:21 - Ephesians 6:5 - Ephesians 6:9 - Daniel 3:16-18

#8. Solitude and Silence
September 24, 2017 • Nick Seders
We live in a noisy world! Jesus had a rhythm of being in crowded places but also retreated from the masses to be on his own -see Luke 5:16- The practice of silence and solitude (although not technically spiritual disciplines) refresh us and give us an opportunity to focus on the only voice that matters, God's. In this week's message Nick Seders continues our series with teaching on solitude and silence. . . . Reflection Question - Quiet yourself and focus on the Lord. Let him speak through his Word, as you process this message. Challenge - Every day this week, retreat into solitude and silence for five minutes during your lunch break. Scripture - Luke 5:16 - Luke 4:1-14 - Psalm 42:7
