Service with a Smile
Series: Serving
Throughout Scripture, God holds up service as a good thing, something worthy of pursuit. Christ demonstrated to His disciples that those who would wish to lead should do so by serving others. Still, sometimes it can be hard for us to desire to serve. By its very nature, service is something that requires humility and a willingness to look out for the needs of others. It has a great deal to do with looking outside one’s self.
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells a parable about a master who entrusted important things to his servants before going away on a journey. From this we learn 7 things about how to appropriately use what God has given us - 7 Lessons in Service: 1) What We Have Is Not Ours; 2) We are Given What We Can Handle; 3) Faithful Service Involves Investing & Using What We’ve Been Given; 4) A Day of Accountability is Coming; 5) What We Do with What We Have Reveals Our View of God; 6) We Need to Use What God Has Given Us; 7) Your Choices in This Life Will Lead to Either Abundance or Agony in the Next Life.
Strive to serve God’s purposes with every gift He has given.
Matthew 25:14-30
