Series: Basics of the Faith
Sermon Title: Serving Basics
Topic: A message on what the Bible says about how to serve.
Key Passages: Various
Sermon Blurb: It is rare to meet someone how would say, “I have extra time, how can I serve you?”
We all think we are too busy, and maybe we are.
But the Bible has something to say about serving and in this message, we learn what that is.
Sermon:
Family Moment
Hello Family Church!!!
Welcome back to week four of our sermon series called Basics of the Faith.
PAUSE
If you are new, or newer, to Family Church you probably do not know what we do EVERY January around here….so let me explain.
Every January we spend the month talking about things HEALTHY followers of Jesus do.
Because it is our goal for everyone at Family Church to be a healthy follower of Jesus.
So maybe, just maybe, you will walk away from church every week this month with some additional ideas of things you can put into practice in 2022 to become a healthier follower of Jesus.
PAUSE
This month we will be talking about Basics of the Faith.
Let me explain what we have been doing….
In week #1 we talked about Bible Basics.
What is the Bible?
How did God give us the Bible.
How do we study the Bible?
And so forth.
In week #2 we talked about everyone’s FAVORITE thing!!! MONEY!!!
In week #3 we talked about Prayer Basics.
What is prayer?
How did God teach us to pray?
How do we pray?
And so forth.
And this week we are going to talk about Serving Basics.
What is biblical serving?
How did God teach us to serve?
And so forth.
It is rare to meet someone who would say, “I have extra time, how can I serve you?”
We all think we are too busy, and maybe we are.
But the Bible has something to say about serving and in this message, we learn what that is.
Then we will wrap this month up next weekend talking about Fasting Basics.
What is Biblical fasting.
How did God teach us to fast?
And so forth.
PAUSE
If you missed any of the prior weeks I would encourage you to go back and listen to them online.
Let’s not let another year go by without growing closer to Jesus.
Let’s not let another year go by without becoming a more committed disciple of Jesus.
PAUSE
This whole series is to help us as a church understand what we should do as followers of Jesus.
See as your Pastor I want Family Church to be known for what we stand FOR……I have no desire as your pastor for our church to be known for what we stand against.
And if we are honest today….when
people think about churches…they know far more about what they are against but they know very little about what they are actually for…..
PAUSE
As a church we want to be SUPER CLEAR…..what we stand FOR.
We have no desire to be known for what we stand against…..we want to be known for what we stand for.
Far too often non-Christians in communities know 1 of 2 things about churches:
1.
What they are against…..
a.
That is the anti-gay church
b.
That is the church you’re not welcome in if you don’t wear a suit
c.
That is the church that hates whatever….
d.
That is the church that is all rock band or all traditional
e.
And so on…..
2. Or people have no idea anything about them….because
they are doing nothing in the community and few people know they even exist!!
And if you don’t think I am right; I would challenge you to go walk around any store and ask people what they know about churches in the area.
Go ask random people what they know about Family Church.
Ask the teller at the gas station or the clerk at your shopping store.
Ask them what churches stand for the community….and
see what they say!!
You might be surprised….I have been doing that with people I meet in this community….and it is enlightening!
PAUSE
So today…..Let me unpack another Biblical ideal…..and we have said this before……
Saved People Serve People.
Did you know that God even said it is NOT enough to just love Him?
Let that sink in…..
Some of you I know are like….ummmmm
I am not sure I agree with that Pastor Adam……
Let me show you in the Bible….
Because this not my personal opinion….open
your Bibles to Matthew chapter 22 and we will begin reading at verse 34……
New Person Bible Talk
App Talk
Let me explain one thing before we dive into verse 34.
I know, we have spent some time on this passage over the years; but today we are going to unpeel some additional layers to this onion.
For those who are new here, Jesus is talking with the GOOD CHURCH going folks of his day.
He is talking with the Sadducees and Pharisees.
They were the group of people that back in Jesus’ time were the church leaders.
And on this day these church leaders, these GOOD CHURCH going folks…..
They are trying to trap Jesus with Biblical questions.
The GOOD CHURCH going folks are trying to get Jesus to say something that goes against what the church taught.
These church people are willfully trying to trap Jesus in theology!
And I lead out with that because we can all get trapped in this mentality.
We might NOT like what a person is saying….
So, we try to TRAP them to show everyone around why they should not listen to that person….
That is EXACTLY what these church leaders are trying to do to Jesus….
So, question after question and finally Jesus says this:
