Passage: Galatians 6:2-10
Serving
Part 4 - Full of Life in a Crazy Busy World!
We can be full of life through serving because:
2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. Gal. 6:2
1.) Serving starts with following Christ’s example!
- Phil. 2 – the attitude of Christ!
3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. Gal. 6:3
2.) Serving helps me remember that: I am not that important!
4 Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.Gal. 6:4
3.) Serving helps me escape the comparison trap.
9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.Gal. 6:9
4.) Serving requires perseverance, but brings blessing into our lives!
10 Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.Gal. 6:10
5.) Serving develops an “eager and willing heart.”
To be “Full of Life in a Crazy Busy World”, position yourself:
…Before God by Journaling His Word! (SOAP it!)
…Between God and a lost world in Prayer!
…Beneath the church by Serving others!
