Compelled to Serve – 1 Corinthians 9:16
Imagine what the church would be like today if each of us felt compelled to serve, using the gifts God has given us for the common good.
Serving
The First Must Be Last; the Servant of All – Mark 9:35
Our world measure greatness by power and influence. But Jesus turns that upside down. The one who would be first must become last, the servant of all.
1 Peter: Life in the Church: to Love and to Serve (4:7-11)
Our life within the church should stand in contrast to what we face in the world around us. We need to be willing to love and to serve, glorifying God.
Worthy of His Calling – 2 Thessalonians 1:11
Do you want to be worthy of God’s calling? Good! But you cannot do it yourself, Only God can make you worthy of his calling. But he does give us the privilege of working alongside him. He will empower us to grow in goodness, and to accomplish the good that our faith leads us to.
