This Bible study series reviews five scriptural stories of people who were called out of some particular place or situation by God and into service to Him and to others. This series was originally created to serve LCMS Servant Events during their week-long programming.

God is the creator of all things and He holds all things together. Resilience is part of His work in holding all things together inside of us and between us. This five part Bible study series on Resilience helps us to think about how God can create in us a resilient identity in Christ that is tied to our emotions and mental health, our relationships, challenges, struggle, hope, and God’s promises.

“In Christ Alone … We Serve” is an important reminder to all of us, as servant event leaders and participants in faithful service, of the true work of Christ. All that we have, all that we believe and all that we are comes only through Christ alone. Because of God’s great love for us, He sent His Son Jesus to die for us. This precious gift inspires us to live each day through the love, power, grace, mercy and joy that come in Christ alone. These devotions and Bible studies are a series that can be used for service work or in other settings.
