Servants of God
Servants serve for different reasons. Some are volunteers just filling in their
portion of time they are obligated to do. The work will be spread equally and they
have no intention of doing more than their fair share. Some are doing it because
of the appreciation shown for their work that they do. Some will work because
Welcome/Prayer: Bob Klosterboer
the work itself is important and needs to be done. Some are slaves and have
Song “Are You Washed in the Blood?” no choice.
Scripture Reading: Landon Ubrig
(1 Timothy 3:8-14)

evenings--Call for directions or additional details**
June 14, 2015
The motivation and commitment level will be very different for each group.
The question becomes which type of servants are servants God wants? All of
those may claim to be servants of the Lord. We see many people and programs
that claim to be in the name of God, but many of them seem more like church
administration rather than servants of God.
Is there a different expectation for a Prophet who serves and the one who makes
sure food is served? We may see a difference in the importance of the job, but if
we are doing it for God both would be the same. We would not believe that God
is more pleased with those who do important serving over those who do ordinary
serving would we? Certainly the widow with 2 mites would solve that question.
The criteria for servants has always been the same; that they be faithful in all
things.
Can we serve like Jesus? Serve when people don’t like us and criticize what we
do? Can we serve after we have done it wrong and been blamed for mistakes and
still serve because God is more important than our critics? We serve because of
who it makes us. We serve because the God who asked us to serve is important.
We do not serve for applause unless it is the applause of heaven.
