Service is not just something we do: it's who we are. Just as Jesus came to serve rather than be served, we are never more like him than when we take on the nature of a servant. The church thrives through every member knowing their gift, functioning in their role, and building one another up in love. The question that can help us start to step out in our role is "what is in my hands?"

Bethany Missionary, Pat Dugan, shares a message inspiring us to think about how to live a life not controlled by the systems of "this world" in the coming year.
