Review of Part 1:
· We Are Called to Reflect Jesus
· The Relationship Partnership of Service between Us and Jesus
· The Beauty of our Inadequacies
· The Accountability of Stewardship
One of Our Greatest Struggles is with Selfishness
· The disciples struggled with this – “who the greatest?” (Luke 22:24)
· Our struggle with selfishness is part of our broken condition (Isaiah 14:13-14, James 4:1-2)
· Our selfishness leads to serving ourselves, not others
The Solution to Selfishness is to Serve Others
· Serving others is at the core of what He has called us to do
· Serving others is tied to our identity in Christ, becoming more like Jesus (Ephesians 2:10)
· Serving is tied to meeting needs of others (Romans 12:11,13)
· Jesus act of selfless service is our example
Following Jesus Means that We Live a Life of Selfless Service
· When we obediently serve others for Jesus, He will start working on our selfishness
· One place we are told to serve is within the body of Christ (Galatians 6:10)
· Another place we are told to serve is to the world
