Are we ready to give a status on “Serving God by Serving Others”?

Serving God by Serving One Another 1Jo 3:23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

Serving God by Serving One Another Who Is My Brother? Biological Brother (Family) Spiritual Brother (Christians) Fellow Human

1Jo 4:20 If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; …

Christianity is *NOT* Merely an Educational Pursuit 1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Failure Excuses Would have Could have Should have Success

I Won’t (Refusal) Pharaoh – Who is God that I should Obey Him? Priest and Levite – Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) 1Jo 3:17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? What about me?

I Can’t (Excuses) Moses – But suppose they will not believe me or listen … What is in your hand? (Rod became a serpent) – O my Lord, I am not eloquent … I am slow of speech … Who made your mouth? What about me?

Failure Excuses Would have Could have Should have Success

Knowing What to Do Isn’t Enough As soon as any goal is set, immediately you start thinking of what you should do (education) Saul – Doesn’t wait for Samuel to offer sacrifices – Brings back King Agag and spoils Knowing what to do and not doing it may be worse What about me?

Failure Excuses Would have Could have Should have Success

I Can, I Will, I Did David and Goliath (1 Sam. 17:32-37, 45-46) – Notice how our entire chart is illustrated by this story Paul – I can do all thing through Christ who strengthens me (Phil. 4:10-13) Examples all around – Early Christians sold their possessions, took the Gospel to the lost, dealt with conflict, etc… – Grandparents – Many more here today – College students “I Can, I Will, I Did” is what is rewarded – 2 Tim. 4:6-8: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race What about me?
