The Red Letter Disciple

All of us are called to live with purpose and meaning, but our ultimate ambition to serve is to glorify God. We do not serve to make our name great, but to make His name great. We are reminded of the truth that no matter what our serving looks like in this world, one day all will be made right, and God will get all the glory. Our serving will ultimately help others follow Jesus as their Lord. To learn more about the podcast visit www.redletterpodcast.com. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Jesus is the unique Son of God who is somehow fully man and fully God at the same time. He and He alone had the unique ability to bring forgiveness of sins to everyone in the world, including you! You do not have that ability, but you are uniquely wired and gifted. As we serve best in this world, it’s important to know who we are in Jesus, how we are uniquely made, and in what ways God calls each of us to serve to the best of our ability.

It’s one thing to be ready, to think about, and to strategize about serving. It’s another to step into action. Jesus made Himself available by coming down into this world, but He would continue to take further action. A life of serving is ultimately a call to action.

Many times what stops of from serving well is not our attitude, but really practically, we don’t feel like we have the time, space, or margin in our lives. We aren’t available. It’s astounding that Jesus made Himself available by leaving His throne in heaven to come down into this world. By doing this, Jesus shows, from the beginning, that He’s willing to lose so others would win. We will look at what it means to be available to serve those in need as we navigate a busy, hurried, and chaotic world. To learn more about the podcast visit www.redletterpodcast.com.

In today’s episode we’ll hear Zach preach on the first of five aspects for how to serve like Jesus. It all starts with our attitude. Sadly, many people today misunderstand God’s attitude toward them. So, in today’s episode, we will explore mindset of Jesus, and how His attitude toward us shaped how He serves us. Before we focus on serving externally, it’s important that our heart is in the right place, just like Jesus. To learn more about the podcast visit www.redletterpodcast.com.
