Sermon About Serving God: Give your best

When we talk about serving God, we are talking about our relationship with Him. How do we know if we have a good relationship with God?

In today’s world, we often think about serving God as something we do. But what if we were to serve Him by being who He created us to be?

We often hear people say they serve God or Jesus Christ. But what does that really mean?

1. To Serve God or Jesus Christ means “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice” (Phil. 4:4)

A Christian Must Be Industrious, Happy, Patient, Prayerful

Serving God Is Not About What We Do, It's About Who We Are

The Christian is not to have some sense of entitlement. The world does not owe you a living

Working is a good thing (Eph. 4:28). Serving the Lord will keep us busy

There is no greater service than serving God. He has called us to be His servants and we should never forget that.

a)Give God your best in your actions (Mal 6-9).

b)Give God your best in your attitudes (Mal 10-14).

2. And how do we know whether we truly serve Him?

1 Samuel 7: 3 Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you return to the LORD with all your heart, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your hearts to the LORD and serve Him alone; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."

Some people believe in God and follow his teachings; others believe in God but don’t necessarily follow his teachings. Serve is follow his teachings.

Samuel speaks:

Faith without works is dead…If you say you believe…show it

Calling yourself and Israelite and not serving the God of Israel is futile…meaningless

Calling yourself a Christian and not serving Christ is hypocrisy…and meaningless

Samuel: Remove foreign gods, turn your heart completely to the Lord and He will deliver you

To know whether we are serving God, we must first understand who he is. He is not just some distant figure sitting up there watching us. He is our Creator, our Savior, and our Lord.

Serve God by serving others.

If we truly believe that God has called us to serve him, then we should do so with humility and gratitude. This means serving others as well as ourselves.

Do we also show pride—especially in worship?

1.God gave you His best so give him your best

2.Since God gave you His best in election, you should give him your best in worship

Being honest with yourself is one of the first steps toward serving God. You must ask yourself questions such as “Am I living my life according to God’s will?”
