Serving

This week, we want to think about how we can cultivate the spiritual discipline of serving in our lives.

What is Christian service?

Christian service is the sincere worship of God with our whole lives.

The service we are called to is obedience motivated by faith in Jesus Christ and what He has done for us. Such service includes praising God with our words (Hebrews 13:15), gospel ministry (Romans 15:16), financial giving (Romans 15:27), and serving one another (Philippians 4:18).

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
