Bless: Serve with Love
Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry
In our Bless series, we focused on what it means to Serve with Care — because serving isn’t just a part of the Christian life, it is the Christian life.
Jesus said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” (Matthew 20:28) True greatness in God’s kingdom looks like compassion, humility, and Christlikeness. Serving isn’t about comfort; it’s about caring for others the way Jesus cares for us.
In Matthew 25, Jesus reminds us that when we serve others, we are really serving Him. Meeting a need can often open the door for someone to meet Jesus and a grateful heart is often an open heart. Serving helps us back up our beliefs and makes our faith visible.
When we choose to serve, we’re allowing God to set us apart — that’s what sanctification means. A sanctified people can help save people. As we become more like Jesus, our actions point others toward Him.
As Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Let’s keep being a church known not just for what we believe, but for how we love and serve — with care, compassion, and the heart of Christ.
