Empowered Living: Cultivating a Lifestyle of Worship, Service, and Witness
Who enjoys serving others?
The truth is a believers identity in Christ qualifies them for service. ‘Serving’ others is the byproduct of empowered witness via the Holy Spirit.
The message begins by emphasizing the theme of empowerment by the Holy Spirit for effective witness, drawing from Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-21, and Acts 2:32-33. It highlights that followers of Jesus operate under His authority and power, living under a banner of love that covers them with forgiveness, transformation, and good works. The big idea presented is that the power to witness unfolds through a lifestyle of worship, honor to the Lord, and serving one another in good works.
The sermon delves into the importance of good works as taught by Jesus in Matthew 5:15–16, emphasizing that our actions are meant to glorify God and teach others about His kindness. It then explores Ephesians 2:8–10, emphasizing that while salvation is by grace through faith, believers are created for good works that align with God's purposes.
Moving on to a lifestyle of worship and honor before the Lord, the message reflects on John 15:13-16, where Jesus calls for sacrificial love and intimate relationship. It underscores the importance of aligning our hearts with Christ's call and cultivating intimacy with God with the help of the Holy Spirit.
The sermon continues by discussing practical applications, including Jesus' example of servant leadership in John 13:1-17. It encourages believers to move beyond ‘ritualistic service’, to serve with humility and love, empowered by the grace and authority of Christ.
Finally, practical steps for effective witness today are outlined, including cultivating intimacy with God, depending on the Holy Spirit, looking for opportunities to share the gospel, building relationships, and living authentically and with integrity.
