STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Mark
10:45
“For even the Son
of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for
many.”
Jesus gives everything He has: He gives Himself. That self-giving is the model for our giving
in all aspects of our lives. In our
family, in our church, and in the world at large, Jesus calls us to follow His
example in self-giving. We can only do
this if we are connected to His self-giving in faith.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
