One Another: SERVE
Pastor Reggie Hill
Scripture
Galatians 5:13-15 NIV
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
1 Peter 4:10 NLT
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.
Big Idea
Servanthood is the willingness to humble yourself and act for the benefit of someone else in the name of Christ. Serving is both action and attitude. It’s understanding I will act and live as a servant of others. We don’t serve because we have to, we’ve been set free. When you wake up to the reality of all you have been saved from and all you have been set free from or kept from, it is from that understanding that we jump at the opportunity to serve one another.
