The Discipline of Service: March 3, 2010

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." Colossians 3:23

The Discipline of Service
John 13:1-17

1. Jesus modeled being a servant: Phil. 2:6-11; Acts 3:13, 26; 4:27, 30; Isa. 53
2. Jesus knew who He was. (Jn 13:3) - He was from God and returning to God
3. Jesus' service was not showy. (Jn13:4)
4. To be strong in the discipline of service, we must understand the difference between service and self-righteous service.
5. Christian service involves: * surrendering (more) time and rights
* understanding God's economy
* wanting to live this lifestyle through prayer,
confession, repentance and listening
Serve in and by: Hidden things; Small things; Guarding other' reputations; Being served; common courtesy; Hospitality; Listening; Bearing others' burdens; Sharing the Word; and Furthering the Kingdom!

Act of Service: so you can check it off your list as done (leaves you exhausted)
you pick whom you will serve
we fit it in - when it is good for us

Being a Servant: never feel like you are done (doesn't exhaust you, but fills you up)
He shows you who to serve and you don't care
Let's go and let Him show you
Serve no matter what - be sensitive

Will you SERVE? Bring Him Glory!!!!!!

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." Colossians 3:23
