Why Do We Serve in the Church?
Why Do We Serve in the Church?Chapter 6 — The Church and Our Hope
Lesson 45: Why Do We Serve in the Church?God gives every believer gifts to help others.
Explanation
God does not call us only to receive blessings in the Church, but also to serve. Every believer has a place and gifts by which they can strengthen the body of Christ.
Serving does not look for applause, but for the good of others and the glory of God. It can be simple, quiet, and still very precious.
Bible story
In the New Testament we see people who served in many ways: some preached, others helped, others welcomed people into their homes, others comforted and strengthened. The Church grew when everyone brought their part with faithfulness and love.
Remember
- The truth: God gives every believer gifts to help others.
- In the Church, every believer is called to serve, not just to watch.
- True service looks for the good of others and the glory of God, not personal fame.
1 Peter 4:10
“As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
