Understanding Who You Serve

The message Who Do You Serve? starts with a powerful look at the Corinthian church and the divisions caused by jealousy, strife, and worldly thinking. Paul reminds us that spiritual maturity is not automatic. The question, “Who do you serve?” asks us to reflect on whether our actions reflect God’s will or merely our own impulses.

Spiritual Growth Requires Self-Examination

Paul calls believers to recognize their spiritual immaturity, comparing those who are not yet ready to receive God’s word to infants who still need milk instead of solid food. Growth is measured by patience, kindness, and faithfulness. Are your actions producing the fruit of the Spirit, or are jealousy and strife still present?

The Role of Servants in God’s Kingdom

The message emphasizes that no one is a superstar. Paul and Apollos were just servants through whom God worked. Every believer plays a role, whether planting, watering, or supporting others. Growth comes from God, not us. Understanding this shifts our focus from personal glory to Kingdom impact.

Obedience and Humility Are Key Measures

True followers of Christ demonstrate their growth through quick obedience and humility. The message reminds us that God tests our hearts through our sensitivity to sin, our willingness to forgive, and our ability to act when He calls. Being humble and responsive allows God’s work to flourish through us.

Serving While Single or Married

Paul gives guidance on using time wisely, whether single or married, to serve God. Focusing on Him first ensures that our energy is invested in what matters most. Serving God actively, rather than chasing personal desires, allows us to see His blessings unfold in our lives.

Building the Body of Christ

Believers are like bricks in God’s temple. Each contribution, no matter how small, strengthens the body of Christ. Our work is measured and rewarded by God, not by human recognition. By understanding our role, we stop elevating people unnecessarily and instead honor God as the chief cornerstone.

Encouragement to Take Action

The message concludes with a call to make a personal decision: to serve Jesus fully today. It challenges believers to let go of past hurt, forgive others, and participate actively in God’s Kingdom. Every believer has the opportunity to make a lasting impact by faithfully serving, whether on the frontlines or behind the scenes.
