Serving Jesus in Everyday Acts
What does it mean to serve Jesus? Mathew 25:40 reveals an extraordinary truth: when we care for others, we are serving Him. Jesus says, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” This verse is part of a parable where Jesus explains how acts of kindness—no matter how small—reflect God’s love.
Think about it: offering a cup of water to someone thirsty, sharing a meal with someone hungry, or encouraging someone who feels invisible. These actions may seem ordinary, but they hold eternal significance. Through them, we participate in Jesus’ work of bridging despair to hope, poverty to provision, and brokenness to restoration.
Jesus invites us to see the people around us through His eyes. Who in your life might need compassion today? It could be someone discouraged, lonely, or struggling. Your small act of kindness can remind them that they are seen, loved, and valued—not just by you, but by God.
Serving others isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about letting God’s love flow through you in everyday moments. When we live this way, we bring His presence into tangible situation and reflect His heart to the world.

Missions are critical in not only aligning objectives, but also unifying a large group of people toward one purpose.
As Christians, we all share the same mission. We are unified in following Christ. We're saved by His blood (Romans 5:9) and we're all called to make disciples in His name (Matthew 28:19).
And yet, even among Christians, there is so much division and disunity.
Part of the division comes from our lack of clarity and commitment to the mission that is defined in Scripture. And to make it worse, we are sinful people, and sin naturally causes division in our lives and relationships.
But, the Psalmist in Psalm 133:1 reflects on how good it is when the people of God live together in unity. There is something powerful that happens among Christians when we are unified.
Unity is not putting away our differences, because there would be no need to be ...
