Rules alone can’t form a heart that loves Jesus. Our kids need more than behavior correction. This week, explain the “why” behind a family value.

Have one conversation with your child about why your family follows Jesus.

Last Wednesday, we talked about ego and how easily it can get in the way of what God has called us to do.

Whether we think too highly of ourselves or not highly enough, both can leave us focused on the same thing: 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀.

The world tells us we have to perform to be accepted. But the Gospel reminds us that in Christ, we’re already accepted. And that changes everything.

Humility isn’t pretending we don’t have gifts or downplaying who God made us to be. It’s recognizing that what we’ve been given was never meant to be all about us.

So celebrate others. Serve without needing recognition. Embrace your gifts without becoming arrogant, and acknowledge your weaknesses without believing you’re worthless.

The question is: Where is your ego keeping you from using what God has given you?

📖 1 Corinthians 3:21–4:7

For the Herr family, serving isn't just something they do on Sundays. It's an opportunity to grow in their faith, discover their God-given gifts, and show the love of Jesus to others.

From serving coffee to helping in GKiDS and production, Nathan, Danielle, and their girls are discovering that serving isn't just about what we do at church. It's about who we're becoming as we follow Jesus.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start serving. Just take the next step.
