servant hood

Serving God in the right way

Why do we do what we Do

What is Our Motive

Are we looking for gratitude For things that we do

We need to look at how Jesus served and then make sure that we are doing the same

It's not about someone calling your name or giving you an offering but it is about the service that you give to the Lord for the people of God

Because this is where our blessings come from

Look around the world And see How many people do Things just to get something That is not a blessing that's payoff

Many people have ended it with the mentality of give me And I'll give you

Wrong attitude And Wrong outlook on what you are supposed to be seeking

King James Version (Chapter 6)

5 Servants, be obedient to them that

are your masters according to the

flesh, with fear and trembling, in

singleness of your heart, as unto

Christ;

Faithlife Study Bible Chapter 6

obey your earthly masters Being under Christ’s authority does not mean that believers are free of all civil or social authority. Paul maintains that slaves should serve their human masters as though they were obeying Christ. Graeco-Roman slavery in the first century AD was very different from that of the colonial period (see note on Phlm 10).

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers;

but as the servants of Christ, doing the

will of God from the heart;6:6 from the heart Implies that believers should have the right motivation for their actions.

7 With good will doing service, as to

the Lord, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing

any man doeth, the same shall he

receive of the Lord, whether he be

bond or free.

receive back from the Lord God takes account of the kindness and generosity people display to one another.

whether slave or free Elsewhere, Paul states that there is no distinction in Christ between slaves and free people

Mark 2:17 “When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
