SERVING: IN A PARTICULAR ROLE
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Serving
Luke 1:7-8
Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Romans 12:4-7
For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching.
Romans 15:15-16
But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 9:13
Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?

1. Serving
a) Most people understand what it means to serve. You can serve a ball when playing volleyball or tennis. You can serve your family a meal. Some computers even serve files to other computers.
b) But what does the Bible say about serving? We are pretty sure you won’t find the ball games nor the computers in there, but the Bible has much to say about serving. “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve…” (Mark 10:45).
c) Here are some Bible verses about serving and service.
