New Series: Godly Success
First Session: "Good and Faithful Servants"
First Session: "Good and Faithful Servants"
This week we begin a
new series based on a simple question: "What is success to God?"
As the old saying
goes, "Begin with the end in mind." If our aim in life is to
stand someday in heaven and to hear our Lord say the words, "Well done,
good and faithful servant," how does that goal translate into living now?
What does God value? How do our own unique abilities and opportunities
relate to God's kingdom? Where can we find solid direction in an unstable
world hostile to Godly purposes and priorities? How also can we escape
the trap of a culture that prioritizes "achievements" and
"accomplishments" over humble obedience?
Thankfully, Scripture
provides us with numerous examples of "good and faithful servants."
This series will focus weekly on people from the Bible and will explore
how they lived in service to God with an emphasis on their fulfillment of
Jesus' two Great Commandments: love God and love others. The first
session this week will hone in on the goal itself. What does it mean to
be a "good and faithful servant"?
