Let's Serve Together

I Peter 4:7-11

Main idea - When we serve faithfully in this church family, according to our spiritual gifts, God will be glorified.

1) The Context for Service - Live purposefully in the Family! (v7-9)
2) The Principles of Service - Steward God’s Grace in the Family (v10)
3) The Illustration of Service - Identify faithful service in the Family (v11a)
4) The Goal of Service - Give God glory in the Family (v11b)

Reflection:
1) Has there been a time when you have served in the church and you have been fulfilled and encouraged in the fruit of that work in your own life?
2) Has there been a time that you have served in the church and you have become disinterested or burned out? What do you think was the cause?

Application:
1) Discover your spiritual gifts of service. Take an online spiritual gifts test to discover your gifting. (www.churchgrowth.org/analysis/intro.php)
2) Choose to dive in and serve at Harvest according to your gifting and passion. Seek out others who can help you identify these items.
