Title: Served to Serve
Pastor Mike Powers
Main idea: Christ serves us and teaches us to serve others.
- Will you admit you are wrong?
- Will you be served?
- Will you serve?
Weekly Prayer Prompts:
Praying Scripture helps deepen and focus your prayer life. Read the passage slowly, praying as God brings things to mind. Use these prompts if needed, but remember the goal is simply to pray. Even if you don't finish the list, spending time in prayer is a success.
