MESSAGE: by Rev. Edward Holly, Pastor of Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church Being A Good Servant: Being A Willing Servant Paul is a willing servant. We are servants bought with a price. In Exodus, the children became free servants. They were willing to serve. You are free but are you willing to serve. As servants, we don't own anything. Everything belongs to God. Proud to be a servant. Our benefits and co-pays are paid by Jesus Christ. There are three callings in our lives: salvation, discipleship, and service. We are indebted to God. We ought to bring God our best! All of the time, bring God you best! You ought to be able to praise God all the time. Are you ready? You don't become a sinner because you sin; you sin because you're a sinner. Don't wait until you stop sinning to become saved, the Bible tells us, "you must be born again." Paul said, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." Being a servant is not a job! Salvation is free, but it costs you something to follow Jesus. Take up your cross and follow me, is what Jesus commands.
