TOPIC: Growing in Grace I
Sub-Topic: Grace for Service
TEXT: Rom 12:3, 6-8
MEMORY VERSE: 2 Pet 3:18
INTRODUCTION
Growth is a natural universal and valid law that cuts across every living creature. When we are born into the family of God, He does not expect us to just settle down in our comfort zone, rather He expects us to grow in grace.
Grace goes beyond salvation, it is also the supernatural ability of God upon a man’s life that enables him to do beyond his physical might or ability.
Our salvation was birthed by God’s grace, therefore our sustenance in the race can only be by His grace.
There are several areas of our lives that God expects us to grow in grace, but we will focus this study on growing in the grace of service to which we have been called by God.
EVALUATIONS
1. Need to serve.
(Here, we get insight into the passion and urgency in the heart of God for men to avail themselves to serve in His vineyard)
a) Matt. 9:37-38
b) Matt. 28:19
c) Eph. 2:10, 1 Cor. 4:2
d) 2 Cor. 5:18-20, 2 Tim. 2:1-2
e) Eph. 4:11-16
2. God’s provision of Grace.
(In this evaluation, we consider all the resources God has placed at the disposal of as many who have responded to the call of serving Him)
a) Eph. 4:7-8
b) 2 Cor. 9:8, Phil. 4:13
c) 2 Cor. 12:9, 2 Cor 3:5-6
d) Phil. 2:13, Eph. 3:7
3. Growing in Grace.
(Here, we explore useful ways by which we can remain ever fresh and relevant in the service of the Master)
a) 2 Pet. 1:2-3
b) 2 Tim. 1:6, Jude 20
c) Jam. 4:6
d) 1 Cor 4:2, Lk 16:10-12
e) Lk 2:52, 2 Pet 3:18
CONCLUSION
God has given each one of us grace to serve Him effectively, but growing in this grace will demand that each of us takes up responsibility in the area of service to which God has called us.
As we walk with God daily, we constantly meet situations that would try to overwhelm us, our response is to trust God’s word and God’s response to our trust, is to grant us His enabling power (grace) which causes us to triumph.
Let us arise in faith and lay hold on the rich resource of God’s grace that has been made available for us for effective service.
Shalom!
