Service Key (20 of 22)
Series: Keys of the Kingdom
Steve Jones
Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10-11
Series Summary: This is an expository sermon series through I Peter. Jesus gave to Peter the ‘‘Keys of the Kingdom’’ (Matthew 16:19). ‘‘Keys’’ will be the uniting theme for the series.
Sermon Summary: We are prepared to serve when we 1) Get our gift on, 2) Use it or lose it, 3) Leave it all on the field, 4) Give God the glory.
INTRODUCTION: On August 12, 2022, a woman went viral on TikTok after sharing how she walked into a Subway and started working with no questions asked - despite never being hired there. The Tiktoker, Fran, records herself in the back room of a Subway location, claiming that she simply walked in and claimed to be a new hire. She also added that the other workers allegedly left her alone to man the store. She just looked at the little pictures and steps to make the sandwiches. AND WE WONDER WHY IT’S SO HARD TO GET GOOD SERVICE THESE DAYS!
PREPARE TO SERVE is our message today.

God has blessed US with his grace. Peter says, ‘‘God’s GRACE in its various forms.’’ The ...
