1. Serving others is
serving CHRIST
Galatians 5:13-14

2. Galatians 5:13-14
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to
be free. But do not use your freedom to
indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one
another humbly in love. For the entire law
is fulfilled in keeping this one command:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

3. Galatians 5:13-14
Sapagka’t kayo, mga kapatid, ay tinawag sa
kalayaan; huwag lamang gamitin ang inyong
kalayaan, upang magbigay kadahilanan sa
laman, kundi sa pamamagitan ng pagibig ay
mangaglingkuran kayo.

4. Galatians 5:13-14
Sapagka’t and buong kautusan ay natutupad
sa isang salita, sa makatuwid ay dito: Iibigin
mo ang inyong kapuwa na gaya ng
inyong sarili.

5. We are called to SERVE
JESUS CHRIST came to Serve not to be
served. God gave himself, to serve and
lay his life.

6. We are called to SERVE
By this, We are not saved by serving, but
we are saved for serving.
This applies to ALL Christians. NO Titles,
NO positions required.

7. CHURCH OF CHRIST NEEDS “U”
You can’t spell SUNDAY without U.
You can’t spell CHURCH without U.
You can’t spell BUDGET without U.
You can’t spell SUCCESS without U.

8. CHURCH OF CHRIST NEEDS “U”
Gayunman, minsan:
FAILURE of the Church to FULFILL
its mission can also be attributed to
U and I

9. Come to WORSHIP,
depart to SERVE

10. Come to WORSHIP, depart to SERVE
How to kill your Church:
o Don’t come
o If you come, come late.
o At every service ask yourself, “what do I get out of this?”
o Sit at the back and never sing
o Criticize and Never accept ministry
o Visit other different churches
o Let the preacher do all the work, never encourage the preacher
o Tell bad things about your church and it’s people…

11. Come to WORSHIP, depart to SERVE
Remove the “Me First Mentality”
We cannot be Jesus’ disciples and to
show your love to Him if we have this.

12. Mark 10:45
“Sapagkat ang Anak ng Tao ay naparito,
Hindi upang paglingkuran kundi upang
manglingkod at ibigay ang Kanyang
Buhay sa ikatutubos ng marami.”

13. Why we are called to SERVE
LOVE GOD
LOVE Others
SERVE GOD
SERVE Others

14. Why we are called to SERVE

15. Matthew 25:40
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you,
whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers and sisters of mine, you
did for me.”
- Jesus Christ

16. Why we are called to SERVE
But God is more interested in:
Why you serve than how well
you serve others…

17. Why we are called to SERVE
We are bound to fail and burned out if
your reasons are the following:

18. 1. Trying to impress God
2. Gain power, position
3. Trying to earn appreciation,
acknowledgement, awards,
recognition
4. Trying to run away from your
mistakes, pain
5. Remedy of your guilt.

19. When we are serving, remember:
"I the LORD search the heart and
examine the mind, to reward each person
according to their conduct, according to
what their deeds deserve.“
Jeremiah 17:10

20. Readying to Serve

criticizing, instead of helping…
Encourage each other by EMPATHY

Problem.
