The main idea of this message is that in order to truly go all in for God, we must have a heart of service and look for ways to serve those around us.
1 Peter 4:8-11, Colossians 3:23-24, Acts 13:36, John 21:15-17
How can we use our gifts to serve others in our community?
What small acts of service can we do in our daily lives?
How can we follow the example of King David and serve our generation?
In his message, Pastor Mike Silvonen from Helena First encourages us to pack a lunch and serve those around us as a way to go all in for God. He shares how often we make promises to improve ourselves, but end up falling short. He also points out that in our desire to have a deeper relationship with God, we often focus on what we will receive instead of how we can serve others. Pastor Mike uses the example of King David, who not only served God but also his generation. He challenges us to do the same by looking for opportunities to serve in our church, community, and home.
Let's start by looking for opportunities to serve in our church, community, and home. Whether it's helping with worship, being part of a snow removal team, or teaching a small group, let's find ways to use our gifts to serve others.
Let's also be intentional about serving others in our daily lives. Whether it's cooking a meal for a sick friend, paying for someone's lunch, or adopting a classroom, let's look for ways to pack a lunch and serve those around us.
