10 Biblical Reasons Why We Serve

To grow in relationship with Jesus

Colossians 1:10

so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God…

Because it glorifies God

Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

To obey a direct command of scripture

Galatians 5:13

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

To use our spiritual gifts and talents for the edification of the kingdom

Ephesians 4:11-12

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

To follow the example of Jesus

Philippians 2:5-8

 

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!

Because it is greater to give than to receive

Acts 20:35

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

To find friendship in community with others

1 Corinthians 3:9

For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

To contribute our unique gifts to the church body

Romans 12:4-6

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. 

Because no labor in the Lord is done in vain

1 Corinthians 15:58

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Because God has ordained and prepared good works for you to do

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Campus C.R.E.W.

The Campus C.R.E.W. (Cleaning, Resetting, Events, and Welcoming) helps to clean and reset for events and make sure any space at Midtown feels welcoming. This ministry serves behind the scenes to help make service, classes, events and more happen. Occasional heavy lifting may be required.
