 You can serve God by helping at Kids' Church, helping pack up chairs after the service, babysitting someone's kids for free, doing the dishes after morning tea etc.
Proverbs 9:10 says, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. This verse used to confuse me. I used to wonder why I should be afraid of God and how that would help me to be wise. The Hebrew word for fear means to be afraid or terrified, but it also means to respect.

The night before he was betrayed, Jesus ate dinner with his disciples, even though he knew what was going to happen. What is one thing that you can do to look after your physical health?

Suddenly, everything is gone, as though it had been taken by an armed robber (Contemporary English Version). The Bible says that we can learn a thing or two from ants. Here are the things that I have learned from ants:
