FOURTH FULL WEEK OF LENT 2025: LOVE & SERVANTHOOD
FOURTH WEEK OF LENT: LOVE & SERVANTHOOD
This calendar guides you through the 40 days of Lent (not counting Sundays) plus Easter Week. Each day offers scripture, reflection, and a simple practice to deepen your faith and prepare your heart for the joy of Easter. The practices are designed for real life — accessible regardless of your circumstances or where you are in your Christian journey. May this season bring you closer to Christ and the renewal He offers.
This week we focus on love and servanthood. Jesus teaches that true greatness comes through serving others, and that love isn’t just a feeling but a way of being that transforms our relationships with God and each other. As we reflect on Biblical teachings about selfless love, we’re invited to put these principles into practice in our daily lives.
4th Sunday
Jesus turns our notions of greatness upside down, teaching that true leadership means serving others.
Today’s Practice
Reflect on how Jesus washed his disciples’ feet. How might this example change how you interact with others today?
Jesus models servanthood not as an occasional act but as a way of life and identity.
Today’s Practice
Look for one simple way to serve someone else today without expecting recognition or thanks.
The love we’re called to show others isn’t generated by our own efforts but flows from God’s love for us.
Today’s Practice
Take a moment to visualize yourself surrounded by God’s love. From this place of being loved, consider how you might share that love with someone today.
Christian love isn’t mere sentiment but active commitment to good, expressed through concrete actions toward others.
Today’s Practice
Pay attention to small opportunities to show kindness today. Remember that in each of these moments, you’re participating in God’s love.
Paul suggests that love is the one debt we should always be paying—an ongoing obligation that fulfills God’s purposes.
Today’s Practice
Consider if there’s someone you find difficult to love. Ask God to help you see them through His eyes.
Paul’s famous words remind us that love is known by its qualities in action, not just by feelings or words.
Today’s Practice
Choose one quality of love from today’s verse and focus on practicing it in your interactions.
When we choose to live in love, we’re not just following rules—we’re dwelling in God’s very presence.
Today’s Practice
At several points today, pause and remember that God is with you and within you. How might this awareness change how you treat yourself and others?
