Ackg. of Opportunity by Rev. Minister, Session and The Church
INTRODUCTION:
Matt 16:24; Jesus said: Take up ur cross & Follow me. ”This is the
greatest calling over all. It is an honor and privilege to be part of God’s
mission, His purpose.
The SUBJECT for discussion today is “CALLED TO SERVE.” Now what is the meaning of
“To SERVE”
1. Act to fulfill a purpose, role, or function
2. Do duty or hold office; perform a specific function
First—why SERVANTHOOD? Christ through the church is the hope of this world and
Christian servants are the hope of the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Heaven.
God has called us to servanthood—this is not negotiable. We follow Jesus in humble and
loving servanthood, as He Himself was the humble Servant. Christian servanthood is not only
serving Jesus, but serving with Jesus. It involves not just being servants of Christ, but
being servants with Christ.
But let’s be honest. Who wants to be a servant?
I. REQUIREMENT OF SERVANTHOOD
Matthew 20:28 (“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many.” And He was obedient even to death on the
cross for our salvation),
Matt. 11:29 (Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.)
