Serve...

OK... sorry about that, we're talking about a different kind of serve...

Have you ever wondered why they call it a "church service?"

Where did all this service come from?

Service = Work, Work = Service. This was God's design from the beginning.

Does this describe your church service: We sang songs to God, we prayed to God, we talked about God, we gave money to God?

Yes, yes... good things...necessary things... no problem there. But how do those things serve God?

Consider this scripture....

Did you know that God has felt this way? He gets tired of our self-serving attitudes.

Here is a statistic that you may be familiar with: 20% of church members do 80% of the work. It's called the 80-20 rule. Can your generation can flip that number? I double-dog dare you.

The Arrow features many characters who "serve" in the Sovereign's army. BTW did you notice that we say someone is in the "service" when they join the armed forces?

Discuss this with the group: "I don't go to church anymore, I go to serve."
