A Servant's Heart in a Selfie World
Sharable notes for the July 1, 2018 message. You can post these notes on your social platform!
- If every believer understood how their giftedness, personalities and passions all fit together, it would be like a sleeping giant waking up and shaking the world for God.
- Do we desire glory that we receive from man or our own sense of accomplishment more than we desire glory from God.
- Jesus showed us that if we are going to truly strive to attain glory from God then we must become a person who’s heart is to serve.
- Self centeredness and busyness are enemies that keep us from being like Christ.
- Our selfishness is robbing us from true happiness.
- Life is not about striving and getting, but serving and giving.
- The only way to live the full life that God created you to live is by not focusing on you.
- When Jesus was willing to stop his life for a moment, it meant He was available to minister to people. Are we like Christ?
- You were made to make a contribution, not just to consume.
- If you have experienced salvation in Christ you are called to serve Christ. And serving Christ means serving others.
- If we are going to allow God to work through us, make a difference, make a contribution with our life, then we’ve got to be willing to stop our life for others. We’ve got to be available.
- Investing in the Kingdom of God pays off for all eternity.

As the Church, we are called to share the Gospel as we make disciples and serve one another. I would like to encourage you to spend the next 31 days serving others. Let this plan guide you day by day along with Scripture to show you different ways you can serve one another. While something like this is for 31 days, don’t let that stop you to continue serving afterwards. Consider it a resource to get you started somewhere, and as you read the Word and serve others, let the Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you to do that more and more each day.
