Shaped to Serve—by Tsepo May

November 7, 2022

Sermon summary:

1. Service Delivery Matthew 20:20–28

Jesus redefined greatness. #Lordshedding. V25–26 It's a personal decision to lord it over people, you decide the stages and schedule. 

V28 Luke 22:27 Jesus came to serve. How are you doing in following Jesus in terms of service delivery? Are you serving others?

Romans 12:6–8 God shaped us to serve using our different gifts, to benefit others.


2.Return on investment (ROI).

Matthew 25:14–30 Having the right mindset is important. We are like one of these servants. Am I using what God provides to produce a result, or complaining about what a hard taskmaster God is? What's going well, and what could be better?

Be willing to learn, seeing it as a pleasure to serve. 

What could be better? Reconsider your position. Fear could be holding you back or feeling inadequate. Judges 6: 13. Go in the strength you have.


3. Call to action. 

Ephesians 4:11–16 Equipped to serve. There's an expectation to do your part bec you've been shaped to serve. 1 Peter 4:10–11 

John 13:17 You will be blessed if you do them.

Jesus The Good Shepherd - By Erick & Vida Li Sik

Psalm 23 paints God as our shepherd—guiding, providing, and protecting. In Jesus, the Good Shepherd, we find the same care. Choose godly community over isolation, grow through mentorship, and live to reflect his love in a world that needs it daily, faithfully.

The Bread of Life - by Justin Renton

March 22, 2026
Jesus, the Bread of Life, meets our deepest needs. We chase power, comfort, and distractions, yet still feel empty. True satisfaction is found in him alone. Feed your soul daily with God’s Word before anything else, and let him be your centre.
