Other's First

Good morning!!

Wednesday night in PL middle school was awesome. God really showed up in our worship. We are in the middle of a series called Others First and Wednesday night we talked about how we are not saved by serving, but we are saved to serve. Galatians 5:13 was where the talk started. "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love." Galatians 5:13 (NIV). What we learned was that

1. The start of serving others is Salvation, "You were called to be free"
2. The barrier to serving others is selfishness, "Do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature"
3. The motive for serving others is love, "Serve one another in love"

God has revealed many things to me in this series and I hope that we all open our eyes and realize that there are other people than just who we see in the mirror everyday.
