“Go and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Teach them to observe all things that I have commanded you.  And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:19-20

We believe that we have been called to use the gifts God has given us to reach unbelievers for Him and to encourage, and build up His Church.

The Greatest

At the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples, among many other things, that the greatest in God's kingdom was the one who was a servant to others.  I had just read this portion of Scripture with my class of middle schoolers an hour or two before our last LOL rehearsal.

As we were setting up for rehearsal, Lucy decided to give our rabbit, Jeremiah, some exercise on the sanctuary floor.  Before long, the inevitable happened and Jeremiah had an accident on the floor.  Most of the students were unaware of what had happened as they were still setting up props.  I announced, "Who here has a servant's heart?"  Noah, a 13 year old seventh  grader, raised his hand.  "Thank you, Noah," I said, "We need someone to clean up Jeremiah's poop."  I could tell he wasn't pleased,  but he did what he was asked without complaining.

Later in the day, I talked about it with my class.  "According to Jesus, the greatest member of LOL today was Noah, because he was the willing servant to the rest of the group."  Juggling more props isn't what makes someone the greatest member of the team.  It is the humble servant whom Jesus defined as the greatest.  May we remember that in our churches, ministries and homes.
