A huge theme in the life of Jesus is service and what that means for us, is that this should be a huge theme in our lives. This service should not stop at Paradox or at church or amongst your Christian friends, but this service should extend to the people and community that God has placed you in. God has placed you in Santa Barbara, not to only enjoy the beauty and the scenery, even though that is a great thing to do, but He has placed you here to serve. Serving others doesn't have to be this monumental event, but it can be done and very effectively in a humble and simple way. Service doesn't have to be a huge ordeal, even the littlest efforts can open the eyes and the hearts of those who you are serving in the name of Jesus.
