Frame the day

Caring for Others

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2

Today, think of someone whose burden you can help lighten. How can you be a source of encouragement and support to those in your community?

Lord Jesus, give us hearts that are sensitive to the needs of others. Open our eyes to those who are struggling and give us the courage to step in with compassion. May we be Your hands and feet, bringing comfort and strength to those who need it most. Teach us to love selflessly, as You have loved us. Amen.

9.30-10.30 Main Session 2 (Main Room)

Worship Leader: Sue Rinaldi, Keynote Speaker: Ronia Jamera

4

In this session we will dive deeper into scripture and unpack what scripture has to teach us regarding ‘Significance over Success’. We will continue to draw inspiration from Philippians 2, where Paul encourages us to “do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,” but rather embrace humility, and discover what true significance means. Challenging us to not focus on personal success or recognition but on living in a way that honours God and serves others.

Worldly success can at times be tempting but we are called to prioritise humility, obedience and selflessness in our lives. In this session we aim to ensure that everyone leaves encouraged to embrace their God-given purpose, understanding that significance comes through humility, love, service and obedience to God and not through a wordly measure of success.
