Empowerment Keys
1. No act of service is “beneath” us.
Matthew 23:11 NLT
The greatest among you must be a servant.
Mark 10:45 NLT
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

2. Let’s not be stingy with our gifts.
1 Peter 4:10 NLT
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

3. You never know who will need what you have.
Acts 20:35 NLT
And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

4. Remember who your service HONORS.
Colossians 3:23-24 NLT
[23] Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. [24] Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
