Improving
Your Serve
“Improving Your
Serve”
Chris
McGowan, Pastor • Sunday, June
23, 2002
“Jesus
called them together and said, "You
know that the rulers of the Gentiles
lord it over them, and their high
officials exercise authority over them. 26Not
so with you. Instead, whoever wants to
become great among you must be your
servant, 27and whoever wants
to be first must be your slave…”
- Matt. 20:25-27
“For
even I, the Son of Man, came here not to
be served but to serve others, and to
give my life as a ransom for many."
- Mark 10:45
FIVE
REASONS WHY I SHOULD GIVE MY LIFE TO
SERVING GOD AND OTHERS.
1. I
was ___________________________ for
service.
“For
we are God's masterpiece. He has created
us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can
do the good things he planned for us
long ago.”
- Ephesians 2:10
2. I’ve been _______________________ for service.
“Each
one should use whatever gift he has
received to serve others.”
- 1 Peter 4:10
3. My church family _______________________ my service.
"All
of you together are the one body of
Christ and each of you is a separate and
necessary part of it."
- 1 Corinthians 12:27 (LB)
4. Because service makes life __________________________.
“For
whoever wants to save his life will lose
it, but whoever loses his life for me
and for the gospel will save it.”
- Mark 8:35
5. Because I owe __________________________ to Christ.
“Therefore,
I urge you, brothers, in view of God's
mercy, to offer your bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and pleasing to
God--this is your spiritual act of
worship.”
- Romans 12:1
