Preacher: Dr. Scott Hanberry

Series: Serve: Saved to Serve, Called to Care, Sent to Share

Detail:

Big Idea: God has uniquely gifted every believer to serve other's faithfully and steward His grace for His glory.

1. Every believer has been given a gift.

SPIRITUAL GIFT - A God-given ability empowered by the Holy Spirit to build up the body of Christ and advance God's purposes.

2. Every gift is mean to serve others.

3. Every gift is a stewardship of God's grace.

4. Every gift should be used for God's glory.

Taking It Home

• What gift has God entrusted to you, and how are you using it to serve others? Every believer has received a gift-discover it, develop it, and deploy it.
• Where is God calling you to serve right now? Don't wait for the perfect opportunity. Look for a need and take the next step of obedience.
• Who get the glory from your service? Examine your motives and serve in a way that points people to Christ, not yourself.

"So that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:11

Preacher: Dr. Scott Hanberry

Series: Serve: Saved to Serve, Called to Care, Sent to Share

Detail:

Big Idea: True service flows not from a desire for status, but from a Christlike heart that seeks to give rather than be served.

(1) A self-Centered Motive Seeks position (vv. 35-40)

(2) A Worldly Motive Creates competition (vv. 41-44)

(3) A Christlike Motive Seeks Sacrifice (v. 45)

A. Jesus Came to serve

B. Jesus Came to sacrifice

TAKING IT HOME & WALKING IT OUT

1. When I serve others, do I secretly desire recognition, appreciation, or influence in return?

2. What is one practical way I can serve someone this week without expecting anything back?

3. How does remembering Christ’s sacrifice on the cross change my attitude toward serving others?

Challenge: This week, find one unseen act of service. Do it quietly, do it joyfully, and do it solely for the glory of Christ.
