In a world shaped by self-interest and hurry, Jesus invites us into a different way of living — the way of humble, self-giving love through service. In this series, we’ll explore how serving others in ordinary, hidden, and interruptible ways can form us more deeply into the likeness of Jesus and open us to the transforming work of God.

In this practice, you are invited to embrace what Mother Theresa described as “doing small things in great love”.

01 Love

02 Hiddenness

03 Availability

04 Kinship

We’ll be using the resources from Practicing the Way. They have divided up the practice of scripture into four sessions based on the practices of Jesus.

This companion guide provides reflection and practice exercises for you to begin experimenting with these skills for cultivating community in the way of Jesus.

We’ll be using the teaching videos and other resources from Practicing the Way for this four-week series.

Our growth groups will be meeting during their regular times on Tuesday evening, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. During our growth groups during the Service Practice, we engage in stories and deeper discussions about serving in the way of Jesus.

Growth Groups are meeting through Zoom and in-person.

Please contact Liling > [email protected] for Zoom meeting details.

In these conversations, Tyler Staton speaks with people serving in different capacities across the world. They explore how they found their place of service, and how Love, Hiddenness, Availability, and Kinship have both confronted and formed them as they serve. We cannot recommend these conversations more highly as you engage this practice.
