Text

Matthew 20:25-27

Main Idea

We serve because He served first, Jesus equips us to serve, our service builds up the church.

I.  Jesus Serves Us

Mark 1:29, Mark 1:33, Mark 1:40, Matthew 14, John 13

Apply: Because He knew he couldn't just say things, He got to work.

II.  The Spirit is Sent to Equip Us

1 Corinthians 12

Apply: We have all as believers been given a task and the tools to complete it.

III.  We Serve to Build

Apply: Our service can be big or small, but what’s important is that our service is in the name of Jesus. We don't serve to make us greater, but the name of Jesus greater in the hearts of those we give service to. 

Conclude

We serve because Jesus served first. We aren't looking for trophies or first place. We go out in order to give these things back to God. Jesus is the greatest and our Lord through what He has done for us.

Title

The Upside-Down Kingdom: Called to Serve

Introduction

We’re all called to serve. Jesus led by example and showed us the way. Then He gave us the tools, by bringing others together to foster and promote unity in the church. (Matthew 20:26-28)

I. We serve because Jesus came to serve (John 13:3-8, Philippians 2:5-8, John 13:12-16)

II. We serve because God equips us to serve (Romans 12:6-8, 2 Timothy 1:6, 1 Corinthians 12:8-11, Matthew 16:24-28, Mark 12:30-31, Isaiah 58:10)

III. We serve because serving builds unity in the Church (1 Corinthians 12:4-7, Ephesians 4:2-3, Romans 12:4-5, Acts 2:44-45, Hebrews 13:16)

Apply

Start looking for ways to serve others, with others, as one body moving together, just as Jesus did!
