“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10, NKJV)
You and I were created to serve God through doing good works. We were created to worship Him. We were created to fellowship with other believers. We were created to become like Christ. And we were created to use our lives to serve God by serving others.
Jesus modeled the servant lifestyle. The Bible says, “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28, NLT). The Son of God came to earth to serve. Those who are followers of Jesus Christ are servants, as well. To be a Christian is to be a servant.
God enables us to serve in this life. He gives us His Spirit to strengthen us. He gives us passions and gifts to use for His glory. He places us in a broken world where the needs are endless. We reflect the Father’s love for a broken world when we serve others. The Bible says, “Each of you should use whatever gift he’s received to serve others” (I Peter 4:10, NIV).
Though our human nature wants to aspire to greatness and to be the one that is being served, the Lord Jesus has called us to humility and to a life of service. In truth, it is a great life filled with joy and contentment that allows God to use His people to touch the world!
Gather the family this morning and join us for worship! Today is Sunday – the first day of the week – and the day that Jesus rose from the dead! We gather to worship God, to encourage others, and to nourish our own soul!
Two worship times: 8:15 & 11:00
Bible study hour for all ages: 9:45
A nursery is provided throughout the morning with a Children’s Church offered during the second service.
