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.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
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.
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.
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.
Do you want to be worthy of God’s calling? Only God can make you worthy. And he does. And he will bless our efforts toward doing good.
