Welcome
Selfless Service
Selfless Service
The first Sunday of the year we talked about Renew Bryant’s foundation
The foundation is Love God/Love Others
Last week we started discussing our values here at Renew
We started with Passionate Pursuit
This week it seems fitting that one of our core values would be Selfless Service
I want us to become a church known as the church that is finding a way to serve Saline County!
I want people to see us and know that we are passionate for God and Serving our community
We laid out a vision and one of them was a “Neighborhood Renewal”
We are going to adopt a street!
This starts this week!
Start with Lora Drive
We are going to go out and find ways to serve this street!
But we are going to pray for them daily
Put them on your prayer list!
Part of this has always been Big Serves
5th Sunday
But I want us to do MORE!
SERVE MONTH
This is your opportunity to serve!
To find ways to serve on a daily basis
Look for people around you
Find places to serve the community
Your friends etc
We are going to have opportunities to serve throughout the month as well
On Lora Dr
With others
Find places to serve and let us know!
Let’s serve together!
Why Do We Do This?
Free Servants
What is this freedom that we have?
We are free to come and go as we please
It is freedom from the bonds of sin
Free to worship
We are not enslaved to anything!
Or are we?
Our freedom has come from Jesus
While we were born sinners, because of Jesus we are free!
We use this freedom to serve others around us
It’s because of this freedom that we are able to serve
We
Nothing holding us back!
This freedom from the flesh causes us to lose the selfishness that we have and look outward to those around us!
Not what is convenient or beneficial for me but what I can do to reach those around me
They need to hear of the freedom that has set us free
That those things that are holding onto them can be released because of Jesus
We all have a freedom story to share
We have to go to them and share it!
Meet Them Where They Are
Paul was wiling to become all things to all people so that he could reach them
He met them in their element
There are a lot of people that will not step foot in this building first
Church hurts, misconceptions based on the media etc has driven them from church
We have to go to them
This is why we are doing the neighborhood renewal
It is easy to speak to someone in their element
They are comfortable and receptive
This is where the serve and love until they as why comes in
We may not get to share the first time or the second time
But we want to reach out to them as many times as it takes to get them to as why
Problem with street evangelism is there is no relationship
Just like in sales, people will listen to you if they like you and they can trust you
We must find them in their element
Meet them where they are but love them too much to let them stay
We can find them in what they are in but we cannot let them stay
Liberal churches - come as you are and find your truth
Conservative churches - clean up before you come
Renew - Come as you are.
Become who you were made to be
It is our responsibility to meet them where they are
But our love for them MUST drive us to push them farther
That is my desire for each of you and for every person who walks in those doors
Why Is This Important?
Love God.
Love others
That is the foundation of the gospel and this church
Our love for God drives us to serve.
We have been made free because of Jesus
Because of Jesus, we serve!
The month of February is a month dedicated to love
I want us to show those around us the love of Jesus with that serve and love mindset
Where Do We Go From Here?
Do you need freedom
I want us to show those around us the love of Jesus with that serve and love mindset
Who can you serve today?
Meditate -
Ask - Open my eyes everyday to see how I can show your love through service.
