Pastor Julie Lewis brings her message for the Fifth Sunday of Lent as we continue her Out of the Desert sermon series.  In this message, entitled "Service: Cultivating Humility" we learn that while it is said that it is better to give than to receive, we also have to be willing to humble ourselves to be served.  Jesus served others, often at great protest and including those who were to betray him, and this shows it is in service that we come to have the most power over this world than it has over us.  In humility, we come to be made great and blessed.  For more information about worship at Asbury United Methodist Church in Smyrna, Delaware please visit our website at www.asburysmyrnaumc.org.
