"Servant of All: Status, Ambition, and the Way of Jesus"
with Dean Craig C. Hill
Presented at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, 5501 Main Street, Houston, TX.
ABOUT
Dean Craig C. Hill will present a day-long course titled "Servant of All: Status, Ambition, and the Way of Jesus" at St. Paul's United Methodist Church (Houston, TX) on Saturday, February 22, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
COURSE DESCRIPTION | A deep tension exists between the biblical view of servant leadership and the status that Christians today often desire and pursue. Why is it that Christians care so much what others think of us and what resources does the New Testament in particular provide us to confront this dilemma and proceed in a direction that conforms more to Jesus’ way of life? These and other related questions will be tackled in this day-long course.
