Being Servants Matthew 25:31-46

Why Thought Not Popular? Pride – How many seek being a servant as life’s goal? Failure to recognize that great leaders are also great servants – Moses – Numbers 12:8 – David – 2 Samuel 3:18 – Isaiah – Isaiah 20:3 – Paul – Romans 1:1 – Peter – 2 Peter 1:1 Being servants of Lord means we are servants of our fellow man

Jesus Turned Concept Of Greatness Upside Down Matthew 20:17-28 John 13:12-17 Leadership involves service – Having authority doesn’t negate service Husbands and fathers Elders All members

Serving Lord Means Serving One Another Many say they want to be a servant of the Lord but balk at some menial task to help others – John 13:14-16 – Matthew 23:11 – Mark 10:44

What About Us? Some say “I didn’t get anything out of the service.” – Do we come to serve or “to be served”? – We are here to worship, not to “get something out of it” Need Humility & Service (Doing) – Matthew 25:14-30 – Parable of talents

What Must I Do To Be Saved?  Hear the gospel (Romans 10:17)  Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37)  Repent of your sins (Acts 17:30)  Confess your faith (Matthew 10:32)  Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38)  Faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10)
