• The dangers of self-centered thinking and how it can contribute to feelings of depression and isolation.
• Highlighting that serving others in need is key to finding true fulfillment and shifting our focus from ourselves.
• Understanding that Jesus' kingdom is about serving, not being served, and about caring for the marginalized, hurting and lost.
• The Salvation Army as a powerful example of practical and tangible outreach to meet both spiritual and physical needs.
• A personal story about encountering a woman walking miles down the road who was passed by churchgoers, highlighting the need to see those in need.
