A SERVANT'S STRATEGY

1994 - THE YEAR OF THE SERVANT: A SERVANT'S STRATEGY
By Fenton Moorhead

I. MISSION: MULTIPLYING SERVANTS.

WHAT IS YOUR MISSION IN LIFE?

JESUS KEPT REPEATING HIS MISSION STATEMENT SO HIS DISCIPLES
WOULD NOT MISS IT AND WOULD BE UNIFIED AROUND IT. IF YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IN THIS LIFE, YOU DON'T GET
CAUGHT UP IN TRIVIA OR GET DISTRACTED AS MUCH, AND BELLYACHE!
"quit your bellyaching!" T SHIRT

JESUS SAID THINGS LIKE, "I CAME TO SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST." "I
DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE AND LAY DOWN MY LIFE AS
A RANSOM FOR MANY." "GO, MAKE DISCIPLES..." "YOU ARE MY
WITNESSES..." "AS THE FATHER HAS SENT ME, I AM SENDING YOU." "I
WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN."

THE FIRST CHURCH GREW SPIRITUALLY AND IN NUMBER BECAUSE EVERYONE
FOCUSED ON THEIR MISSION, IT WAS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO
SERVE OTHERS IN JESUS' NAME! IF ALL HERE TODAY BELIEVED IT WAS
OURS?

I KEEP REWORKING A MISSION STATEMENT THAT IS A BROAD SWEEPING
PARAPHRASE OF THE GREAT COMMANDMENT AND THE GREAT COMMISSION
WITH AN EMPHASIS ON BEING A SERVANT.

OUR MISSION: TO BE USED OF GOD TO SERVE OTHERS,
BRING THEM INTO HIS FAMILY,
AND ENABLE THEM TO BECOME SERVANTS OF GOD.

II. GOAL: TO PLEASE GOD BY FAITHFULNESS AS HIS SERVANT.

Mat. 25:21 "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been
faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many
things. Come and share your master's happiness!"

WHEN A PLAYER RUNS OFF THE FIELD AFTER A TREMENDOUS PLAY, IT'S
GREAT TO SEE A SMILING AND ENTHUSIASTIC COACH EMBRACE HIM.
