2. HYMN
I LOVE MY MASTER (GHS 56)

3. I LOVE MY MASTER (GHS 56) 1. I love, I love my Master
I will not go out free!
For He is my Redeemer;
He paid the price for me.
I would not leave His service,
It is so sweet and blest;
And in the weariest moments
He gives the truest rest.

4. I LOVE MY MASTER (GHS 56) 2. My Master shed His life-blood
My vassal life to win,
And save me from the bondage
Of tyrant self and sin.
He chose me for His service
And gave me power to choose
That blessed, perfect freedom,
Which I shall never lose.

5. I LOVE MY MASTER (GHS 56) 3. I would not halve my service,
His only it must be!
His only – Who so loved me,
And gave Himself for me.
Rejoicing and adoring,
Henceforth my song shall be –
“I love, I love my Master,
I will not go out free!”

6. DAILY CHRISTIAN SERVICE
SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES
LESSON 687:
DAILY CHRISTIAN SERVICE

7. LESSON 687: DAILY CHRISTIAN SERVICE
MEMORY VERSE:
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” (Romans 12:1)
TEXT: Romans 12:1-21

8. SUMMARY (1) From our last study, we learnt the following lessons:
To overcome error, believers must love holiness, be well taught, grow up and flee traditions. We must know the truth, affirm it and defend it.
Good works cannot obtain salvation, yet genuine salvation must lead us to good works or acts of divine service.
Believers must watch against false teachers: expose them and avoid them.
The study of today touches on three points:
The Pattern of Christian Service
The Principles of Christian Servants
Promises to Christian Servants

9. SUMMARY (2) The Pattern of Christian Service (Romans 12:1-8)
Our daily life of service as Christians covers: service to God (v. 1,2); ministry to the Body (v. 3-8); service to the brethren (v. 9-16) and service to the world (v ).
Evangelism (preaching of the gospel) is the most compelling of our daily service. We all can preach, give money for evangelism, distribute tracts or talk to friends about Jesus.
Involvement in the laity work of the church is another form of Christian service.
The Principles of Christian Servants (Romans 12:9-21)
To serve Jesus, we must be saved (2 Tim. 2:6), pure (2 Tim. 2:21), sober (Rom 12:3), zealous (Rom. 12:11), loving (Rom 12:9), prayerful (Rom 12:12) and Spirit-filled (Acts 1:8).
Promises to Christian Servants (1 Corinthians 3:11-15)
The Lord promises His servants eternal reward (I Cor. 3:14), eternal abode (John 12:26), honour and eternal glory (John 12:26; I Cor.2:9).

16. QUESTION 6 What are the promises for Christian servants?
1 Corinthians 3:14
Exodus 23:25
John 12:26
Mark 10:29-30

17. CONCLUSION
Conversion should lead to a daily life of committed Christian service.
We should render our service to God, minister to His Body, serve the brethren and render divine service to the world.
Evangelism is the most compelling of every believer’s daily service.
The first and most important condition for Christian service is possessing and professing a solid relationship with the Lord.
Christian servants must also live holy lives, serve with sobriety backed up by love, zeal, prayer and the power of the Spirit.
There is promise of eternal reward for those who serve the Lord faithfully.

18. O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED (GHS 89)
HYMN
O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED (GHS 89)

19. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89]1.
O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend:
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.

20. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89]2.
O let me feel Thee near me;
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.

21. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89]3.
O let me hear Thee speaking
In accents clear and still
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
To hasten or control;
O speak and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.

22. O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED [GHS 89]4.
O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee,
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend.
