RegistrationsSUMMER OF GENEROSITY: Living Generously. Jesus models servanthood for us by becoming poor so others can become rich. Philippians 2 says Jesus became like nothing in terms of his social status, stepping down from the throne room, and took the role of a servant. If we are truly going to serve others, we must put aside our comfort and our agenda and step into the lives of others, and the role God would have for us. For Jesus, that was a step down from His heavenly home into our earthly dwelling. Why? Because He first loved us.
