Serve

At The Mission Chattanooga, we are called to serve each other. We are a family, and families love one another.  Each of us has something unique to contribute… and we all contribute.  Our community cannot be strong and healthy otherwise.  Jesus himself leads the way in this regard.  In the same chapter of John, Jesus says, “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.  I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master.”

In other words, humble service is a part of the Christian life.  It is one of the primary ways that Christ expresses His love for us, and it is how we grow in our love for each other.  As the people of God, we are called to function more like a sailboat than a cruise ship. We all pitch in!  In the shared life of our community, whether on Sundays or during the week, we are all called to do our part.
