Serving Christ

10 sermons

Serving Christ is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, emphasizing the importance of dedicating one's life to the will of God as exemplified by Jesus Christ. According to Romans 12:1, believers are called to present their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which entails surrendering their desires and ambitions to serve Christ. As Psalms 23:1 affirms, recognizing God as our shepherd, we are to follow His guidance and trust in His providence, serving Him with humility and obedience, as also encouraged in Galatians 2:20, where Paul declares that he no longer lives, but Christ lives in him, illustrating the ultimate goal of serving Christ. By serving Christ, believers demonstrate their love and devotion to Him, seeking to honor and glorify Him in all aspects of their lives.

"Where do You want us to prepare it?" they asked. He answered, "When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters, and say to the owner of that house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?' And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there." So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.”

Follow him, and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, 'The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?' And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there." So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.”
