Pastor John recently visited Matthew 25, a feeding station for hungry people and it has him thinking about one of the key functions of the church: to serve.

Join him and Lindsey and Nate for this episode that was recorded on Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend and features powerful music, including “Up to the Mountain.”

John reflects on our purpose, especially that of the church, which is to gather around the powerful texts of Scripture (John 2, I Corinthians 12, and Matthew 25), and then to “scatter” being Christ’s Body in service in the world. The Greek word is diakonia.

May it be a word that shapes your identity and actions.
