Podcasts about servanthood

Servanthood begins with a cross-shaped posture—humble, others-first.Philippians 2:1–11 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.John 13:34–35A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Facebook: / lagravecrc Instagram: / lagravecrc Website: https://www.lagrave.org #LaGrave #LaGraveCRC This worship service at LaGrave Avenue Christian Reformed Church explores the intersection of God's eternal providence and the human struggle to follow His timing. Through the lens of Psalm 90 and the early life of Moses, the message challenges believers to move from self-driven ambition to a life of surrendered servanthood. Foundations of Providence and Human Fragility The service opened with a prayer based on the Belgic Confession, Article 13, acknowledging that God governs all things according to His holy will and that nothing happens by chance. This theme of divine sovereignty was further explored through a responsive reading of Psalm 90, often considered the oldest psalm in the Psalter. The congregation reflected on God's eternal nature—existing before the mountains were born—contrasted with the brevity of human life, which is described as grass that withers by evening. These reflections served as a call to recognize human limitations and the necessity of finding a "dwelling place" in God throughout all generations. The Contrast of the "Cinematic" vs. Biblical Moses The sermon addressed the popular cultural depictions of Moses, such as those in The Ten Commandments or The Prince of Egypt, which often portray him as a consistently confident, "debonair" hero. However, the biblical narrative reveals a much harsher reality. Moses was born into a period of intense persecution and infanticide under a threatened Pharaoh. His survival was not a matter of cinematic luck but the result of his mother Jochebed's clever planning and the direct providence of God, who placed him in the heart of the Egyptian palace to be nurtured in the wisdom of the empire. The Danger of Running Ahead of God A pivotal moment in Moses' life occurred when he attempted to take justice into his own hands by killing an Egyptian taskmaster. While his intentions to help his people were sincere, he acted "deliberately and according to a plan he concocted" without consulting God. This "self-driven life" led to a sinking heart and forced exile. The sermon illustrated this through a modern example of a pastor who attempted to force a neighborhood evangelism program too quickly, resulting in an empty event because he had not earned the congregation's trust or waited for God's timing. The School of Servanthood in Midian Moses' 40-year exile in Midian is portrayed as a period of divine reorientation. At a well in a barren land, God began to mold Moses' character through small, seemingly insignificant tasks, such as protecting seven women from shepherds. This stage of life taught Moses that a servant's duty is simply to do the "next task" available. This principle was echoed in the story of a modern-day church member who served as a helper to her husband with MS for 46 years, illustrating that true servanthood is found in daily faithfulness rather than personal glory. The Ultimate Example: Christ's Surrender The sermon concluded by pointing to Jesus Christ as the "far greater example" of servanthood. Unlike Moses' early impulsive actions, Jesus demonstrated complete surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane, praying, "Yet not my will, but yours be done." While Moses served faithfully in God's house, Jesus is the faithful Son whose journey to the cross provides the ultimate model for believers to follow God's ways and timing through the power of the Holy Spirit. The life of Moses serves as a profound reminder that God's servants are not born in palaces but molded in the wilderness. By surrendering personal agendas and waiting on divine timing, believers can move from the "disrepair and turmoil" of self-driven lives into the "holy rest" of God's eternal purposes.

Ministry is servanthood. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9.

While the Old Testament laws on slavery may seem foreign or troubling to us today, they were given to regulate a fallen society with mercy and justice, showing Gods concern for the dignity and rights of every person. In Christ, we find the ultimate example of servant leadership, called not to dominate but to love and serve others freely and sacrificially. The post True Servanthood appeared first on Mt. Rose OPC.

Jesus: Our Example of Servanthood With Donnie Denton

God wants us busy. So? Get busy! Get bold and win the world for Jesus!

This episode explores the theme of "being the head and not the tail," drawing from Deuteronomy 28 to encourage listeners to shift from a mindset of bondage and subservience to one of leadership and obedience to God. Samuel emphasizes that blessings follow faithful submission and obedience, contrasting the generational effects of living in freedom versus captivity. Practical examples illustrate how spiritual and financial freedom can be cultivated over time, impacting future generations. The episode closes with a call to embrace obedience, patience, and a lifestyle distinct from worldly patterns, trusting that God equips and blesses those who follow His ways.

Servanthood—grounded in love—produces true worship when we stay close to God, let His love purify our motives, and serve with the sacrificial posture Jesus has.

Everything we have is borrowed from God. True freedom comes when we stop clutching our possessions and start managing them as His. Hold things lightly, honour Him deeply, and let a steward's heart guide your decisions today.This devotional was aired on Radio HCI Today via the WeLove Radio App.

He also offers a set of questions you can use to reflect on what it means to become a servant to all. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
