Understandings:
The result of this series should be increased acts of service toward brothers and sisters in Christ, and a willingness to serve in the world. The essence of a Christ-changed life is humility. The fruit of humility is servanthood. In this series we will explore how serving: honours God, reflects Jesus Christ, blesses others, matures believers, evangelises and disciples. We will see that serving costs. It requires humility. It requires sacrifice. It may lead to being misunderstood. It will lead to being unthanked and unappreciated. When we consider the humblest servant of all, Jesus Christ, He was despised, mocked and rejected. Serving can be hard. Christian service is different to mere humanitarian service. The Scriptures teach that God empowers our service- we can serve in His strength. By seeking God and His strength, the believer is able to do more than they otherwise could.
