Passage: 1 Peter 4:10-11

Preacher: Dr. Scott Hanberry

Series: Serve: Saved to Serve, Called to Care, Sent to Share

Detail:

Big Idea: God has uniquely gifted every believer to serve other's faithfully and steward His grace for His glory.

1. Every believer has been given a gift.  

SPIRITUAL GIFT - A God-given ability empowered by the Holy Spirit to build up the body of Christ and advance God's purposes.

    2. Every gift is mean to serve others.

    3. Every gift is a stewardship of God's grace.

    4. Every gift should be used for God's glory.

Taking It Home

• What gift has God entrusted to you, and how are you using it to serve others? Every believer has received a gift-discover it, develop it, and deploy it.
• Where is God calling you to serve right now? Don't wait for the perfect opportunity. Look for a need and take the next step of obedience.
• Who get the glory from your service? Examine your motives and serve in a way that points people to Christ, not yourself.

"So that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 4:11

Passage: Mark 10:35-45

Preacher: Dr. Scott Hanberry

Series: Serve: Saved to Serve, Called to Care, Sent to Share

Detail:

Big Idea: True service flows not from a desire for status, but from a Christlike heart that seeks to give rather than be served.

(1) A  self-Centered Motive Seeks position (vv. 35-40)

(2) A Worldly Motive Creates competition (vv. 41-44)

(3) A Christlike Motive Seeks Sacrifice (v. 45)

A. Jesus Came to serve

B. Jesus Came to sacrifice

TAKING IT HOME & WALKING IT OUT

1. When I serve others, do I secretly desire recognition, appreciation, or influence in return?

2. What is one practical way I can serve someone this week without expecting anything back?

3. How does remembering Christ’s sacrifice on the cross change my attitude toward serving others?

Challenge: This week, find one unseen act of service. Do it quietly, do it joyfully, and do it solely for the glory of Christ.

Cultivating the Noble Art of Bowing Low

John 13:1–17

(1) True Service Flows From Love. (Vs 1)

(2) True Service Requires Humility. (Vss. 3-5)

The greatest obstacle to serving is Pride.

(3) True Service Requires Receiving Grace. (Vss. 6-11)

What does foot washing look like today? It looks like:

• Encouraging someone who is struggling.

• Serving in areas nobody notices.

• Helping without being asked.

• Meeting practical needs.

• Listening when others need someone to care.

• Giving time, energy, and resources for the benefit of others.

The towel may look different. The principle remains the same.

(5) True Service Leads to Joy. (Vss. 16-17)

TAKING IT HOME & WALKING IT OUT (Application Questions)

1. Where is God calling me to pick up the basin & towel?

What opportunity to serve have I been overlooking?

2. Who can I intentionally serve this week?

How can I show the love of Christ in a practical way?

3. What attitude needs to change in my heart?
