From the Heart: A Call to Serve Like Christ

From the Heart: A Call to Serve Like Christ
Balancing Faith, Denying Self, and Becoming a Servant of the Kingdom

In this powerful message, Lee Shaw teaches on the importance of balance in the Christian life, urging believers to avoid extremes and seek fulfillment not in worldly desires, but in the character of God. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 7:18–19, Genesis 2:17, and Philippians 2, he outlines the spiritual dangers of misplaced affections—how they lead to irresponsibility, distraction, and division.

Lee calls Christians to embrace a life of servanthood, marked by self-subjection, self-denial, and self-sacrifice—the very traits of Christ. Using Scripture and personal stories, he challenges listeners to reflect Jesus by serving others humbly, joyfully, and without seeking recognition. He ends with a practical call to action: identify people in your life you can serve, and do it as unto the Lord.
