He Served Us First - Walking by the Spirit in Our Service
What fuels your service obligation or gratitude?
In this message, we step back to remember a foundational truth: before we ever served God, He served us. From daily provision and sustaining grace to the ultimate gift of His Son, Scripture reveals that service originates in the very heart of God. Through passages like Psalm 145, John 3:16, Mark 10:45, and John 14, we see the full movement of grace:
The Father sustains us.
The Father gives His Son.
The Son gives His life.
The Spirit dwells within us.
When we forget that grace, service becomes mechanical, prideful, or performance-driven. But when we remember how God first served us, our gifts are transformed into worship. This sermon challenges us to examine why we serve, where we serve, and whether we are serving from gratitude or simply going through the motions. The Spirit-led life is a serving life, and a serving life is motivated by love.
Join us as we rediscover the source of our service and learn how to serve from the gospel, not just in the moment.
