Understanding Christian Service
The Heart of Service in the Kingdom of God
Christian service is an act of worship. It’s how we express gratitude and obedience to God. As Jesus declared, “The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve” (Matthew 20:28).
When we embrace this mindset, we begin to understand what true Kingdom Living looks like—humble, compassionate, and God-centered.
