Message Title: Saved to Serve
Text: 1 Timothy 1:1-2

INTRODUCTION: The foremost characteristic of the life of Jesus Christ was is service. We are most like Him when we serve as He served. God calls us to serve one another just as Jesus did. He didn't save you or call you to service so that you might be exalted, praised, glorified, or put on a pedestal. He saved you so you could serve Him and others. When we do this, we honor Him with our lives. The most important thing you can do outside of accepting Christ as your Savior is to give your life to Him and allow Him to lead you each day.
