SERVICE PRACTICE

Discover how to serve with genuine love in a time of self-interest and overwhelming need through this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.

In a world where self-interest too often takes precedence, service is a defining characteristic of those who apprentice under Jesus. The Service Practice features a practical, accessible approach to integrating service to others into your daily life. Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, this guide offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, guided readings, and additional resources to help you and your community.

This course guide will equip you to experience the power of a neglected discipline as you learn to:

• Embrace a lifestyle of love and acting on behalf of others, following the example of Jesus
• Imitate the radical availability of Jesus and reframe interruptions as invitations
• Value community engagement and notice the needs of others around you
• Practice intentional acts of service where you are, starting today, in your everyday life

Discover how a life of service can lead to a transformed heart, meaningful connections with others, and a deepened sense of purpose.
