Learn More about Serving

Summary

Serving others is a vital aspect of the Christian faith, and as believers, we are called to follow Jesus’ example of service and sacrifice. While it may be tempting to focus on heroic acts of service, we must remember that meeting practical needs and using our unique gifts to bless others are just as important. Serving is not just a suggestion, but a command from God and an act of obedience that stems from our gratitude for our salvation.

But it’s not enough to simply acknowledge the importance of serving. We must actively strive to live a life of service by consistently putting the needs of others before our own desires. It’s easy to serve when it’s convenient or easy, but true service requires ongoing sacrifice and commitment. Let’s use our talents and abilities to build up the church and bless others, always remaining humble and open to both giving and receiving. We all can grow in making a conscious effort to serve others in our daily life and to strive to become a true servant of Jesus.
