Created To Serve

This powerful message confronts a fundamental truth that challenges modern thinking: we were created to serve, not to be served. From the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, before sin ever entered the world, God placed Adam in the garden 'to tend it and to keep it.' This wasn't a punishment—it was purpose. The teaching draws from John 13, where Jesus washes His disciples' feet just before His crucifixion, demonstrating that true greatness in God's kingdom comes through humble service. What makes this foot-washing particularly profound is its strategic timing—with Judas already planning betrayal, Jesus chooses to go low rather than confront. This reveals a spiritual principle: when we serve with humility, we pull down strongholds and defeat the enemy in ways that pride and position never could. The message challenges our consumer mentality that has crept into both society and church, where we expect to be entertained and served rather than finding our fulfillment in serving others. The call is clear: grab a towel, find your place to serve, and watch God move. Whether rocking babies so young mothers can worship, maintaining the grounds, or serving in countless other ways, 100% participation in kingdom service is what builds lasting ministry and defeats spiritual opposition.
