MINISTRY IN
THE NEW
TESTAMENT
CHURCH
Lesson 9
Serving within the Church
Serving outside the Church
Serving other congregations
Serving as a lifestyle:
Paul and service
James and service
Jesus commissioned us to
preach the Gospel to the
world, making disciples and
baptizing them.
The early Church followed
Jesus' example by taking care
of those in need within and
outside the Church while
preaching the Gospel.
The church grew exponentially under the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. The new
believers “were of one heart and one soul.”
(Acts 4:32)
Those who had more shared with those
who didn't have anything, so there were no
people in need.
After some time, distributing the goods
among those in need became complicated,
so the Church organized the distribution by
appointing seven deacons.
This sharing system didn't persist in other
Christian communities apart from the
Jerusalem one, but it laid the foundation of
caring for those in need.
The city of Joppa was greatly blessed by the
ministry of a Christian woman, Dorcas.
She made clothes for those who needed them.
She also gave donations to satisfy the needs of
the poor.
She didn't help only the members of the
Church, but anyone who needed her help.
Dorcas died and the Church called Peter. They
showed him how she had helped the widow and
the poor.
Selflessly helping others is not easy. A life of
service requires self-sacrifice, but its impact in the
lives of others may have eternal consequences.
Discrepancies arose when the Gospel began
to be accepted by the Gentiles. A Council was
summoned to solve them (Acts 15).
Paul was asked to teach the Gentiles some
specific doctrines and to care for the poor
(Galatians 2:10).
When the church in Jerusalem suffered a
famine, Paul suggested the Gentile
churches to gather an offering to help
them.
The local churches must help to supply
for the needs of other congregations, not
only for their own needs.
E.G.W. (Welfare Ministry, cp. 3, p. 32)
In Romans 12, Paul
taught how we
should live and
relate to others as a
"living sacrifice"
(v. 1):
If you have the gift of service, serve (v. 7)
If you have the gift of giving, do it with liberality (v. 8)
Be merciful with cheerfulness (v. 8)
Love without hypocrisy (v. 9)
Abhor what is evil and do what is good (v. 9)
Love with brotherly love (v. 10)
Honor others (v. 10)
Be diligent and not lazy (v. 11)
Share to satisfy the needs of the saints (v. 13)
Be hospitable (v. 13)
Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep (v. 15)
If your enemy is hungry, feed them (v. 20)
James was a brother of Jesus and one of the columns
of the Church (Galatians 2:9). The inhabitants of
Jerusalem considered him a saint and a just man.
He taught us how to serve others in his letter:
Putting our faith into action (1:22)
Helping those in need (1:27)
Preventing inequality (2:1-4)
Dressing the naked and feeding the
hungry (2:15-16)
Acting with justice (5:4)
Our service is a visible result of our faith
(2:14-17).
“Christ will keep the names of all who
count no sacrifice too costly to be
offered to Him upon the altar of faith
and love… When the selfish and proud
are forgotten, they will be
remembered; their names will be
immortalized. In order to be happy
ourselves, we must live to make others
happy. It is well for us to yield our
possessions, our talents, and our
affections in grateful devotion to
Christ, and in that way find happiness
here and immortal glory hereafter.”
E.G.W. (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, cp. 26, p. 250)

  • 3. Serving within the Church Serving outside the Church Serving other congregations Serving as a lifestyle: Paul and service James and service Jesus commissioned us to preach the Gospel to the world, making disciples and baptizing them. The early Church followed Jesus' example by taking care of those in need within and outside the Church while preaching the Gospel.
  • 4. The church grew exponentially under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The new believers “were of one heart and one soul.” (Acts 4:32) Those who had more shared with those who didn't have anything, so there were no people in need. After some time, distributing the goods among those in need became complicated, so the Church organized the distribution by appointing seven deacons. This sharing system didn't persist in other Christian communities apart from the Jerusalem one, but it laid the foundation of caring for those in need.
  • 5. The city of Joppa was greatly blessed by the ministry of a Christian woman, Dorcas. She made clothes for those who needed them. She also gave donations to satisfy the needs of the poor. She didn't help only the members of the Church, but anyone who needed her help. Dorcas died and the Church called Peter. They showed him how she had helped the widow and the poor. Selflessly helping others is not easy. A life of service requires self-sacrifice, but its impact in the lives of others may have eternal consequences.
  • 6. Discrepancies arose when the Gospel began to be accepted by the Gentiles. A Council was summoned to solve them (Acts 15). Paul was asked to teach the Gentiles some specific doctrines and to care for the poor (Galatians 2:10). When the church in Jerusalem suffered a famine, Paul suggested the Gentile churches to gather an offering to help them. The local churches must help to supply for the needs of other congregations, not only for their own needs.
  • 8. In Romans 12, Paul taught how we should live and relate to others as a "living sacrifice" (v. 1): If you have the gift of service, serve (v. 7) If you have the gift of giving, do it with liberality (v. 8) Be merciful with cheerfulness (v. 8) Love without hypocrisy (v. 9) Abhor what is evil and do what is good (v. 9) Love with brotherly love (v. 10) Honor others (v. 10) Be diligent and not lazy (v. 11) Share to satisfy the needs of the saints (v. 13) Be hospitable (v. 13) Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep (v. 15) If your enemy is hungry, feed them (v. 20)
  • 9. James was a brother of Jesus and one of the columns of the Church (Galatians 2:9). The inhabitants of Jerusalem considered him a saint and a just man. He taught us how to serve others in his letter: Putting our faith into action (1:22) Helping those in need (1:27) Preventing inequality (2:1-4) Dressing the naked and feeding the hungry (2:15-16) Acting with justice (5:4) Our service is a visible result of our faith (2:14-17).
  • 10. “Christ will keep the names of all who count no sacrifice too costly to be offered to Him upon the altar of faith and love… When the selfish and proud are forgotten, they will be remembered; their names will be immortalized. In order to be happy ourselves, we must live to make others happy. It is well for us to yield our possessions, our talents, and our affections in grateful devotion to Christ, and in that way find happiness here and immortal glory hereafter.” E.G.W. (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, cp. 26, p. 250)
