The Call For Authentic Servanthood
There is a big difference between the idea of a perfect church and the reality of it, between the idea of authentic servant hood and the reality of it. It’s easy for a church of authentic Christians to become selfish, ingrown and distracted from its purpose, so we need to guard against this problem by integrating Biblical principles into the practice of Christ-like servanthood.

Servanthood
We are called to follow in the example of Christ and live as humble servants in our actions, but even more fundamentally in our attitude and nature.

It is in this moment that Jesus reveals his true nature: a servant. Then he tells his disciples in v 14 "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet." Part of conforming to the image of Christ is becoming a servant of all. By serving, we find our identity more and more because it is how we were created to be. Moreover, we find healing and power for the journey ahead.

Beyond ABC's
In this series, we've talked about the "glory" for which we were created. We get a glimpse of it in the opening pages of Genesis and in the final Revelation of John. We were created to rule and to reign along side Jesus! But the path to greatness in the kingdom of God is a path of servant hood and perseverance. It's a path that many miss. As we dive into the most controversial text in Hebrews, I believe it is this inheritance of ruling with Christ that we are in danger of missing. Are you ready to reign? Key Passage: Hebrews 5:11 - 6:12
