Jesusonian Loving Service
Begin at the foundation of yourself . . .
Our personal interactions can be elevated to the level of loving service when we practice in the manner that Jesus did—with faith in God and in others, and selflessly as a unified balanced personality. Service might be done out of duty, but it is enhanced by a sincere intention to have empathy, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, and to affirm “It is my will that God’s will be done.” When we strive to love and serve as Jesus did there is a sense of joy and peace that truly passes understanding.
This course begins at the foundation—one’s attitude toward self—and then brings students around to a study of Jesus’ unified and
balanced personality before taking a look at the example that Jesus set for the most effective loving service to others. Along the way, students will practice intentionally following Jesus’ example. There will be exercises that bring about greater personality balance and opportunities for practicing loving service in everyday life.
This course is designed to be taken slowly. It does not just teach the theory of loving service but provides opportunities for the real-life application of what is taught. Improving how one serves does not happen overnight. Throughout the course, there are recommended places to pause the lesson and practice integrating loving service so that you can more fully embrace this holistic approach.
