Serving is in the DNA of our church and part of every day life for so many. I love what I get to do as a pastor and in our church. Today I share a few truths about serving.
I share because there are so many needs around us. Some are every day needs. Some are because of situations like the recent hurricane, but there are real needs are you and me. These are verses straight out of the Bible and speak to why and how we serve.
Mark 10:45 NLT
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Jesus came to earth to serve. That was who He is. Jesus was sent to serve by giving Himself for others. Serving is always about doing for others, and sometimes it is costly.
1 Samuel 16:21 NLT
So David went to Saul and began serving him. Saul loved David very much, and David became his armor bearer.
David served king Saul, and it didn’t end well. That verse was how it started. This serving was innocent and a blessing to all. Not all serving ends well, but as David served, we should serve well and honor God throughout.
Colossians 3:24 NLT
Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
No matter who we are serving, we are always to be serving Christ. Choose to serve. Look around. What needs do you see that you can meet today?
There are many organizations helping with hurricane relief. Please consider giving and be a prayer warrior for all involved. You can give to The Community Fellowship, Send Relief, our mission partner SBCV at https://www.sbcv.org/helene , Samaritan’s Purse or God’s Pit Crew.
