Spiritual growth doesn’t happen by accident—it takes training. In this new series on spiritual disciplines, we’re learning how to intentionally grow in our faith and become more like Jesus.

This week, we kicked things off with the first discipline: serving. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve—and He calls us to do the same. Serving isn’t just something we do; it’s a way God shapes our hearts and makes us more like Him.

Listen to the message and take your next step—start practicing the discipline of serving and discover how God can transform your life through it.
