Faithful in service
Megan always taking picture
What would people say that you are always doing?
working
on your phone
talking about Jesus
reading
helping other
gossiping
Over 1/2 of American teens want to be a celebrity
Jesus said
Over 1/2 of American teens want to be a celebrity
A servant is not what we do but who we are
As Christians we are servants of Jesus
by serving others we serve Jesus
What are you always doing?
What was she always doing?
gave clothing to those struggling
helped widows
God must have thought that what she did was important because when she died God used Peter to raise her from the dead
revival broke out
Not a great pastor or evangelist
didn’t have a great following
BUT
b/c she was always doing good
servant of Jesus
How do we become a faithful servant?
it’s not about making clothes
it’s not about having a specific skill
IT’S ABOUT SERVING WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
3 stories to help us see
King David was a war hero
started after he killed Goliath
women stand in streets and sing songs about him
“here comes David, he is so strong and great”
like Megan does for me when I come home
Why was he so great?
some say because he won a battle
I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE HE BROUGHT A LUNCH
all throughout his life was promoted because he had a servants heart
Older brothers were off fighting the enemy as soldiers
David was out in the field taking care of sheep
one day his father asked him to do something that seemed small but was big in God’s eyes
seemingly insignificant
won’t be noticed by others
feel like behind the scenes
promotion in God’s Kingdom does not come by self promotion but by being a servant
by doing the small, unnoticed things that will serve and encourage those around you
Bring a lunch
2.
553 years before it took place
Zechariah prophesied that the king would ride in on a donkey
not customary
President won’t come visit driving an old beat up Ford that we can hear turn off of Georgesville but will come in his fancy ride… that’s the expectation
Jesus tells the disciples to go and get Him a donkey so that He can ride into Jerusalem on it
not everyone in that time would have had a donkey because they were expensive
we don’t know this persons name
we don’t have any other details about this guy
HE DIDN’T
set a price or specific arrangement
tell them which one that they could use
HE DID
let it be used for the Lord’s purpose
He was willing to offer what he had because he was a servant
He provided a way for Jesus to come into town
we can learn to give what we have for the purpose of Jesus
Sometimes by helping others we can do greater things than we could do on our own
bring a lunch
offer a ride
3.
Jesus was meeting with the disciples for dinner just before the passover
Thursday night
Jesus knows that He is about to give His life for the sins of the world
wanting to talk with them
Disciples sit down and begin to argue
who is the greatest?
right before Jesus has a big talk with them
John:
It will be me
I am the one that Jesus loves
he wrote about himself in 2nd person
& called himself the one that Jesus loves
Peter:
no, John, it is me because do you remember when we were all out in the boat and Jesus called me out on the water
He chose me 1st
Others: yeah but remember you only took 3 steps before you sank!
Peter: but He came and got me
Bartholomule:
Who is the greatest....
Jesus is sitting there knowing that He did not come to be served but to serve others
looks and sees proud hearts
So Jesus
everyone is saying “no you can’t do this” and definitely not to me
if you come to my house I would offer to take your coat & get you a drink
custom
In that time they would wash feet when you came in
but never the host
the servant would do it
Jesus looks around and sees proud hearts & dirty feet
puts on a servant apron
grabs towel
washed their feet
