Entering A Life Of Service

How Do You Commit To Serving?

1)  I commit to serve others by being a kingdom kid and showing God’s love to others.  (Jordan)

In John 12:20-21, we see Greeks (the world) traveling to meet Jesus.  When people are in the world, can they meet Him through us?  Can people meet Jesus through our lives, our actions, and the way we serve?

“Can people meet Him [Jesus] through us?”  – Pastor Ferne Sapp

2)  I commit to serve others by distributing love and kindness.  (Gemaya)

She saved money to give to a man on the side of the road and he spoke encouragement in her life.

In John 12:25 we see that Christ is emphasizing a life not focused on self.

3)  Showing the word of God and that God really does love them.  (Jackson)

Every day people are looking to know if they are loved.

4)  Share the gospel of Christ to those who have not received it.  (Jayson)

They are many ways to share the gospel.  One important way is how we live.

5.)  I commit to serve others by using my spiritual gifts and prayer to show God’s love.  (Annisa)

Many times we are so focused on the tangible actions to serve others that we forget about the spiritual actions we can take to serve others.

Words of Wisdom – Willie Sapp

The compassion I have for the world came from two places: my grandmother and the Holy Spirit.

We must have the characteristics of Christ.  As you serve you address a need, and as a result, you are telling those that you are serving that you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

“We have a responsibility….as parents to create an example for them [our children] to see.” – Pastor Ferne

Also, we must be intentional about serving others.  Meaning, when we wake up each day, that should be on our minds to do.

“Winners don’t quit.  Winners might lose, but they get up and continue.” – Willie Sapp
