What if the key to real spiritual growth is learning to accept correction?

We all say we want to follow Jesus — but discipleship means denying ourselves, laying down our ego, and being willing to be shaped.

Being willing to take correction is a big part of self-denial, but is one of the hardest parts of growth. As we look at the life of the Ethiopian Eunich, we consider how he took correction and how we can learn from him.

What if everything you’ve been taught about winning, success, and happiness is actually backwards? Jesus said the way to real life is to lose it — and the way up is down. In this episode, we’re unpacking the upside-down kingdom of God and what it means to deny yourself, take up your cross, and actually find the life you’ve been chasing. If you’ve ever felt torn between chasing more and wanting something deeper, please check out this sermon.

As always, we are so grateful for you guys tuning in. If you have any prayer requests or questions, feel free to email us at theservingchurchdallas@gmail.com. Thanks and have a great week.

Jesus faced the second temptation of being offered to drop from the temple. Why did that temptation matter? Because Satan wanted him to glorify himself.

Many times, the approval of people and self-glorification can distract from what God wants from our lives. How do we begin to honestly honor God and not worry about what others have to think?

We consider these things and more as we look into this week's text. As always, thanks for tuning in. If you have any prayer requests or questions, please email us at theservingchurchdallas@gmail.com.

Have a blessed week

If the process of establishing the systems of our life begins in self denial, where does self-denial begin? Does that mean we cannot have anything good for ourselves?

We consider Galatians 5 which points us to the idea of killing our flesh or our animal nature. Our anger, our bitterness, our worry are a few examples of that nature. But how do we begin the process of killing our nature that might be so deep seeded inside of us? We look at the idea of building our spirit man so that we might kill the flesh. If you're interested in hearing more of building the spirit man, please tune in!

What if the way you see yourself is holding you back from the life God desires for you?

In this episode, we wrestle with the question of identity and what it truly means to follow Jesus. So often, we define ourselves by our jobs, struggles, successes, or failures—but Jesus invites us to be known by Him instead. Through relatable stories and vivid illustrations, this message explores how we can stop wearing different “hats” throughout the week and begin conforming our lives to the image of Christ every day. As we confront the idols that shape us and submit them to the Lord, we’re invited into real transformation that leads to freedom, wholeness, and a better way to live.

What if spiritual growth wasn’t about trying harder—but about ordering your life differently?

God is a God of systems, and healthy systems always produce growth and fruit. In this message, we discover the starting point for a life that glorifies God: self-denial that leads to freedom, clarity, and purpose.

This sermon unpacks how loving God first—by intentionally ordering your time—and loving people outwardly transforms everyday life. From practical rhythms to a vision of revival in ordinary believers, this message offers a hopeful and challenging call to live with purpose beyond feelings and self-focus.

If you desire a faith that grows, reproduces, and impacts others, this message will help you take the first step.

As always, thank you guys for tuning in and if you have any questions or prayer request, please reach out to us at theservingchurchdallas@gmail.com. Thank you and have a great week.

What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this episode, we move beyond the idea of a one-time decision and explore Jesus’ call to “come after me.” Discipleship is about who you follow and what you’re known for. Through Scripture and real-life stories, we discover that being identified by Jesus means living a life of intentional service—serving others, even when it’s difficult, just as Jesus did.

Many people start New Year's Resolutions and commitments to follow the Lord, but as the year progresses, their resolution fades. In a recent study done by Forbes, 94% of people do not stick with their resolutions past a year.

How can an individual stay committed to their resolution, especially in terms of the Lord?

We look at the idea of systems and what the systems of our life look like. As always, we appreciate you listening. If you have any questions or prayer requests, please reach out at theservingchurchdallas@gmail.com. Thanks and have a great week.
