SERVING: WHAT'S YOUR ATTITUDE?

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Serving

a) Most people understand what it means to serve. You can serve a ball when playing volleyball or tennis. You can serve your family a meal. Some computers even serve files to other computers. 

b) But what does the Bible say about serving?  We are pretty sure you won’t find the ball games nor the computers in there, but the Bible has much to say about serving.  “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve…” (Mark 10:45). 

c) Here are some Bible verses about serving and service. 

2. What’s Your Attitude? 

Acts 20:18-21 
“You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

Acts 26:6-7
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers: Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come.

Galatians 5:13 
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Colossians 3:23-24 
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

1 Peter 1:12 
It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. 


The End ...
