Mark 10:44,45App: We must be about serving each other App: Greatness in the kingdom is measured by servitude Joshua: a type of Christ“…the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”John 1:17For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.9There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. 11Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience. Hebrews 4:8b-11What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
