Serving Others

Key Verse

“Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others” (Philippians 2:4).

Text — Philippians 2:3-8

 

 

Message

God has double ownership claim on us, as the Creator and Redeemer. He wants us to serve Him and others. Many youths think serving God is the only important thing while serving our fellow neighbours, students and colleagues is less relevant. Serving others characterized the whole life of Jesus and should be our lifestyle if we have encountered Him, our model in all things. Our service to others should include praying for their conversion, helping our friends when they are sick, assisting in explaining difficult academic topics to them, giving out our used clothes, and books and helping them in other ways. For your service to others to be acceptable, you must first give your life to Jesus and live for Him always.

When we serve others, we are actually serving Christ who would reward those who follow His footsteps of service to humanity.  Believers are saved to serve. The Early Church served others by providing for their needs and fellowshipped from house to house, sharing things with one another. God wants His goodness to reach everyone through His children.
