“Serving Others”
Saturday, February 22, 2025Key Verse
“But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.” Philippians 2:22
Text — Philippians 2:19-23
Message
Paul was the spiritual father of Timothy whose biological father was a Greek. Young Timothy gave himself to the service of God under the ministry and leadership of apostle Paul. Timothy became a friend of Jesus through his grandmother Lois and his mother, Eunice. He loved the Lord and was willing to serve Him so he joined himself with the great apostle in God’s service. Timothy proved to be a dependable and trustworthy servant of God whom Paul relied greatly on. He did not let Paul down neither did God’s work suffer in his hands.
God is still looking for boys and girls who will give their lives to His service. There are lots of things that you can do for God- praying for others, helping the weak in faith by encouraging them through visitation and phone calls (with your parents’ permission), giving to meet the needs of other children. You can also sing in the choir, do cleaning of the church premises and helping in other areas during Church services. Jesus wants you to give Him your life (accept Him as your Saviour and Lord) before giving Him your service. God also wants you to serve others in His name. Do not disappoint Him.
