101 – What is Authentic Servanthood? Pt 3
John 13:1-17
June 17th, 2018
REVIEW
Key Idea:
Serving: It’s in you to give.
1) Serving breaks the mould of culture. (vs 1-6)
2) Serving identifies. (vs 7-11)
John 13:12-17
3) Serving blesses. (vs 12-17)
a) We are blessed. (Prov 11:25)
i. Jesus blessed us first.
ii. We follow His teaching (Acts 20:35)
iii. An eternal perspective (Col 3:23-24)
b) Others are blessed. (1 Pt 4:10)
**MEMORY VERSE: Gal 5:13**
Pray for our finances, that giving would be faithful, as well as joyful, consistent, and sacrificial, and that our monthly needs be met. Pray that the Holy Spirit would keep reminding us of God’s promise to throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out blessing on all who bring the whole tithe into His house.
Pray for each one who attends HMC, that we would be learning spiritually to be followers of God, equipping us to go out and make disciples in the world.
