Cities of Refuge

Summary

The sermon emphasizes Christian service as a selfless act modeled by Jesus Christ, who came to serve rather than be served. It highlights three key characteristics of Christian service: performed out of love, without seeking personal gain, and at a personal cost. The preacher encourages believers to be like the life-giving Sea of Galilee rather than the lifeless Dead Sea, serving others as an expression of love for God. The sermon also introduces the biblical concept of Cities of Refuge from Joshua 20 as a picture of Jesus Christ providing refuge and hope for those who seek Him.
