God Speaks When You Serve

Main message: The sermon teaches that service is a vital spiritual discipline that helps believers hear from God and grow in relationship with Him. Christians should serve daily, in the church using their gifts, and in the broader community.

Key points:

• Daily, spontaneous service to others is a way to follow the Holy Spirit’s promptings.
• Believers should regularly use their spiritual gifts in church ministry, ideally about two hours a week.
• Serving in church helps both the individual and the church, and can help reveal the right place to serve.
• Christians should also serve outside the church, about two hours a month, in charitable or community work.
• Examples of community service include volunteering, nonprofit work, prison ministry, and helping vulnerable people.
• God often speaks powerfully through acts of service, so serving should not be neglected.
