Show Notes

Serving isn’t an action, it’s a posture


God Over Others, Others Over Self


Galatians 1:10 

“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” 



Others Over Self


Philippians 2:3  

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”


Philippians 2:3 AMP “3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves.


1. Serving Shows Jesus


Matthew 5:16

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” 


2. Serving Changes You


3. Serving Makes You Great


Matthew 20:25 

“25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”


Greatness isn’t determined by the amount of people that serve you but by the amount of people that you serve. 


2nd Mile, 2nd Nature


Matthew 5:41-42 “41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.”


What’s something I can take off of someone else’s to do list?


How can I make my leaders job easier?


What can you do?


1 John 3:18

“My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.”


1 John 3:18 AMP 

“Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words].

What is New Song Church OKC?

New Song Church Exists To Help People Know God. Many people today know about God, but they don’t know Him in the personal way He can and wants to be known. He feels distant and more like a historical figure than a close friend. At New Song we desire to connect real people with a real God, the real Jesus, and the real Holy Spirit in a way that creates real life change.
