I am test challenged! Throughout my life, I have always been a guy who has had to work extra hard to have success on tests in school. I am one who has had to work hard inside traditional learning environments. Word problems have always been my downfall. I would sit there at the table and be thinking – “what is the answer” – (sound a bit whiney) - Is this a trick question? – “Come on Mark, you know this answer!?”
Life sometimes throws us hard questions that can appear to not have an answer. One question often asked is this, “why am I here?” This answer is clear. It is always the same no mater what we do or where we are. We are Servants first!
This month has been a focused series, Upside Down:The Paradox of Servant Leadership as Modeled by Jesus Christ. I wanted to ignite, cast vision and give encouragement for us as we together are servant influencers. I don’t have to convince you because you are servants. This Sunday I am teaching to the need to refuel. Like Jesus Christ modeled we have to refuel our souls. I want to call us to take this seriously and take opportunities to find strength in refueling.
