A MISSION WORTH EVERYTHING 2 – SERVING, 11-9-25, Lead Pastor - Jeff Aenk, New Hope Christian Church
Key Verse – Matthew 13:44 - “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
JESUS DISCIPLES ARE TO STOP FOCUSING ON OURSELVES, & PUT OUR LOVE INTO ACTION BY SERVING & HELPING OTHERS.
1. Jesus Sets the Example for us by Serving Us, & then Telling us to Serve Others the Same Way & We’ll be Blessed.
Mark 10:43-45 - 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man (Jesus) did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
John 13:12-17 - 12 When he (Jesus) had finished washing their (the disciples) feet, he put on his (outer) clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
2. We Need to Step Up & Put our Love in Action by Serving Others like Jesus did.
Galatians 5:13b – …..rather, serve one another humbly in love.
1 Peter 4:10 - Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
James 2:14–17 - What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?... If one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
3. Jesus wants us to Serve & Help People & Tithe 10% to his Work. We are to Freely Give, as we have Freely Received from Him.
Matthew 23:23 - “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth (Tithe – 10%) of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.
Matthew 10:8 - Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
