Sermons About Serving
The Guardian
Peter concludes his teaching on submission to authority with a straightforward address concerning the Servant Jesus. This passage is very likely an adaptation of an early Christian hymn about Christ. It suits Peter’s theme beautifully as, in close dependence upon Isaiah 53, it describes how Jesus, the Suffering Servant of the Lord, submitted to suffering in this world because of His obedience to His heavenly Father. Being obedient to His Father did not deliver Him from suffering, but led Him straight to it! Through His suffering we have found forgiveness, restoration, peace and healing.

How many of us have missed out on having something astounding become part of our life simply because we didn’t take the first step? Or after taking the first step, fail to persevere until fulfillment had been gained? God has created each of us to have a life He describes as abundant. More than success, God is referring to fulfillment. This fulfilling, abundant life is discovered as we first engage in a relationship with Jesus and then engage in a life that lives out and shares His good news, the gospel. Come and learn how to engage with Jesus, His work here on earth and your abundant and purpose-filled life.

Welcoming Jesus
God calls each of us to nurture and protect those God entrusts to our care for as long as they are in our care—and even those we never meet, such as the abandoned children of Haiti or the war victims about whom Nuhad Tomeh told us Thursday when he visited us. God fills each of us with talents and skills for welcoming those who need us. We can wipe a tear--bandage a scraped knee--comfort a scraped heart--tutor a struggling student—encourage a struggling adult--hold a hand—offer a hand-up--give a smile--pray for God’s children everywhere. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me, but the one who sent me.
