4 Reasons To Consider Serving In Church
Psalm 92:13 “…those who are “planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.”
- Serving is part of discipleship in action.
Jesus gave the mandate to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (ESV)
- Serving is part of our identity as Christ followers.
The Message paraphrase of Romans 15:1 “Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us.”
- Serving exposes areas of our character that need refining.
Matthew 20:28 “For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
1 Peter 4:10-11 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms… so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”
- Serving teaches us to love others genuinely.
Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
- Sometimes we figure out what we’re passionate about by trying lots of things that we don’t end up liking.
- There’s a formula or principle called the 90-10 principle. It is where 10 percent do 90 percent of the work, or ministry.
Serving is a family responsibility!
