What does it truly mean to serve the Lord?

Many believers desire to follow Christ but never discover the work God has prepared for them. Scripture teaches that Christian service is not reserved for pastors or missionaries. Every believer has been given gifts to strengthen the Body of Christ and glorify God.

In this Bible study, Scott Mitchell examines what the Bible teaches about developing a servant's heart through spiritual maturity. Looking at passages from 1 Samuel, Philippians, Romans, Ephesians, Corinthians, and Colossians, you'll see that God calls His people to grow beyond spiritual infancy, rightly divide His Word, and faithfully use the gifts He has given.

This study also examines:

Why Jesus Christ is the perfect example of a servant.
How humility is the foundation of biblical service.
Why pastors and teachers are called to equip believers for ministry.
What it means to become spiritually mature.
The relationship between charity, truth, and faithful service.
How every believer can discover and use their God-given gifts.
Why growing in God's Word prepares us for the work He has called us to do.

God desires believers who are firmly grounded in Scripture, motivated by charity, and willing to serve wherever He leads. A servant's heart is developed through humility, spiritual growth, and obedience to God's Word.

Key Scriptures:

1 Samuel 12:24
