Christmas isn’t about getting treated like royalty. It’s about worshiping the King who came to serve. From Mark 10:45, Bobby Bosler challenges you to make this break a season of ministry, not entitlement.
Bobby Bosler shares a simple Christmas challenge from Mark 10:45: Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. With Christmas break and “time off,” it’s easy to drift into an entitlement mindset, but Jesus’ coming calls us to a different posture. This episode urges young people to make Christmas break a season of joyful, intentional ministry at home, in the church, and in the community.
