Serving in the Church: Laboring for Christ

A devotional reflection on serving faithfully within the church.

Topical

Serving in the church is laboring for Christ’s glory. Scripture teaches that every believer is gifted to serve and strengthen the body.

By love serve one another. (Galatians 5:13)

As every man hath received the gift… minister the same. (1 Peter 4:10)

I will very gladly spend and be spent. (2 Corinthians 12:15)

Christian Application

Serving encourages believers that God uses their efforts for eternal good. Serve joyfully, use your gifts, and honor Christ.

Sample Prayer

Lord, help me serve faithfully and strengthen Your church. Amen.

Hymns for Topical

This devotional pairs well with the hymns Make Me a Blessing by Ira Wilson, Take My Life and Let It Be by Frances Havergal, and Blest Be the Tie That Binds by John Fawcett.
