A WORD FROM THE PASTOR

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."  Mark 10:45

It is an unfortunate truth that people are often self-centered and form habits that serve themselves, sometimes even at the cost of others.  This is due to our sinful nature that convinces us that serving ourselves is what is best and will make us happiest.  However, as Christians, we are called to live differently, not like the rest of the world.  Instead of looking to serve ourselves, we should look to serve Jesus Chris foremost as well as others.

Jesus is the perfect example of service towards others.  He came to the world and rather than be served by others he himself served others with kindness and humility.  From healing those who were sick or possessed and washing the disciple's feet to dying a gruesome death on the cross, Jesus shows us what real love and the heart of a servant truly looks like.
