This past Tuesday we spent the night understanding that despite what our world tries to tell us, the Christmas season isn’t supposed to be a time where we bring the focus on ourselves.

Jesus taught that the way we live our lives should stand out because of our service to and love for others (John 13.34-35).  Real leaders are the ones who give up their time, effort, money, and other resources to put others ahead of themselves (Mark 10.43-45).

So how will you make this a Backwards Christmas?  How are you going to serve rather than be served?  How will you not only receive, but also give?  How will you be a true leader among your friends, family, relatives, and strangers in the next week, month, and year?
