| �There is no limit to what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit.� It is important to cast a vision of servanthood to lay leaders and those in the church who serve the body of Christ.Preach servanthood.� There can be no greater example of servanthood than Jesus Christ.� He was someone who could have expected everyone to serve Him.� However he continually offered himself as the servant of all.� You get what you preach.� If the church needs to be reminded to serve one another, Preach servanthood.Live servanthood.� If Jesus can do it, so can the preacher.� People live by our example more than what we preach.� If we preach servanthood but live lordship, people will become confused and view it as hypocrisy.�Reward servanthood.� Praise those who put others first.� Openly applaud those who go out of their way to put others needs before their own.� Jesus said, “When you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it unto me.”� He wanted us to know how important servanthood was asExpect servanthood.� People will perform the way you expect them to.�� Believe in the potential of servanthood in your congregation.� Let people know unselfish acts should not be rare, but the norm in the Christian church.Evangelize via servanthood.� When we put other’s needs before our own and go out of our way to meet those needs, it is very attractive to the world.� Society encourages others to worry about themselves.� However, many people are tired of the dog eat dog world they live in and desire to be a part of something that blesses others.� By James Smith of Sermon Outlines |
