OUR PURPOSE IS TO SERVE

Luke 22:24-30 And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest. And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.' "But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest and the leader like the servant.  "For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves. "You are those who have stood by Me in My trials; and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Father, we are Your servants, whom You uphold, Your chosen ones in whom You delight in; You will put Your Spirit in us and we will bring justice to the nations.  Lord, we will not shout or cry out, or raise our voices in the streets.  Father, like a bruised reed we will not break, and a smoldering wick we will not snuff out.  Lord, in faithfulness we will bring forth justice; we will not falter or be discouraged till we establish justice on earth, and in You, we will put our hope. Amen


Philippians 2:5-8
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men
