Today we continue talking about the process that we as a church believe that the bible show us on how to make disciples, which is the command that Jesus Christ gave us some 2000 years ago.  Step one is to share hope with those whom the Lord is leading.  Step two that we looked at last week is two grow in our faith.  Today we look at the next step which is to demonstrate love.  What does it mean to demonstrate love it means we need to serve the Lord.  We need to serve Him everyday and every way just as He showed us how during His time on earth.  So look with me today about serving the Lord.

  1. Serving God is a response to God’s awesome love and mercy for us!
    1. We love because he first loved us. I John 4:9
    2. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
  2. Serving God is the example that Jesus showed us!
    1. The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve. Mark 10:45
    2. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Philippians 2:7
  3. Serving God is being a good manager of what He has given.
    1. As good servant managers of God’s grace in its various forms, serve one another with the gift each of you has received. I Peter 4:10
    2. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Galatians 5:13
