Ep. 319 - How to Develop a Heart for Service
Manage episode 458370141 series 2985321
Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss the call to servanthood and evangelism and emphasize how Jesus’ teaching that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes through humble service. Jesus demonstrated this principle by performing tasks like washing His disciples’ feet, an act avoided even by bondservants- people who had indebted themselves and were working off their debt. His example highlights that leadership is rooted in serving others, and those who seek to lead must adopt a servant’s heart.
Evangelism, similarly, is framed as an act of service. Despite personal reluctance, sharing the gospel is both an expression of love and obedience to God. Ray’s story of witnessing a life transformed through evangelism underscores the profound impact service can have. Believers are called to serve all people, recognizing that even mundane tasks, when done with care and reverence, honor God and contribute to His kingdom.
Service is not merely a duty but an act of worship. Scripture encourages believers to serve the Lord with gladness, turning routine actions into opportunities for spiritual growth. Mark’s experience of praying over place settings while he was working illustrates how intentional service deepens faith, breaking the cycle of going through the motions in spiritual life. Creative acts of worship, like writing poetry or heartfelt prayer, also foster a deeper connection with God.
Servanthood begins at home, where practical acts of love and care build a foundation for a servant’s heart. Loving one’s spouse sacrificially, helping family members, and modeling Christ-like behavior for children are essential. Serving the local church is another key aspect of servanthood. God has gifted each believer with talents intended to bless and strengthen the church community. Whether through graphic design, children’s ministry, or other areas, offering time and skills fosters community and personal faith growth. A servant’s mindset actively seeks ways to help others, reflecting Christ’s love through action.
The call to service extends even to enemies. Simple acts of kindness, such as smiling at your neighbor or bringing people to the Lord in prayer, demonstrate Christ’s love. Serving in secret, without seeking recognition, cultivates humility and focuses on pleasing God. Ultimately, everything believers possess is on loan from God, meant to be used for His glory. No act of service is too small when done with a worshipful heart. The call is to embrace servanthood as a lifestyle, continually seeking ways to serve others as an expression of love and devotion to God.
