As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace. 1 Peter 4:10
Believers are the ultimate recipients of service. Our savior has served us to the point of dying for us. “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
Our natural response to the Gospel is to serve the one who has served us so sacrificially. We serve Christ by serving one another and by serving the least of these. We know from 1 Corinthians 12 that the Holy Spirit has given gifts to every believer and he has apportioned those gifts as He wills (1 Cor 12:11). Each person is to use their gifts for the common good of the body (1 Cor 12:7).
Our desire is that this service to the church would not just occur within our church’s ministry programs, but that it would occur relationally in the lives of our church members all throughout the week as they are doing life with one another. Every member of our church has been given gifts that our church family needs to experience and benefit from. One of the responsibilities of our Church members is to obey the command to serve one another. The goal being that “the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together” (1 Cor 12:25-26).
