This October, we’re leaning into Serving God Faithfully — living with hearts of love and obedience that reflect Christ in our homes, marriages, and communities. Join us for weekly prayer, new podcast episodes every Wednesday, a 5-day Bible plan (Oct 13–17), and a 5-day fast (Oct 20–24).
Key Scripture
Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Devotional Thought
Serving God is more than a checklist of duties — it is a lifestyle of love, obedience, and faithfulness. True service begins in the heart and flows outward into every area of our lives: our homes, our marriages, our workplaces, our communities.
Jesus Himself modeled faithful service when He humbled Himself to wash His disciples’ feet. He showed us that greatness in the kingdom isn’t found in status, but in service. When we choose to serve God faithfully, we reflect Christ’s heart to the world.
Faithful service also transforms us. It shifts our focus from recognition to obedience, from self-centeredness to God-centered living. And while the world may overlook acts of service, God never does. He promises eternal rewards for those who serve Him with all their hearts.
This month, as we explore what it means to serve faithfully, may we remember that no act of service is too small when done for God. From a prayer whispered for a friend, to an encouraging word for a spouse, to excellence in our daily work — all of it can glorify Him.

Reflection Questions
- Where is God calling you to serve faithfully right now?
- Is there an area of your life where you’ve grown weary in serving and need His strength to continue?
Prayer for the Month
Lord, thank You for calling us to serve You with gladness. Teach us to serve faithfully — not for applause, but for Your glory. Renew our strength where we are tired, and remind us that our labor in You is never in vain. May our service reflect the love of Christ in every area of our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
