Shaped to Serve—by Tsepo May
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.
