Scripture: Mark 9:14–29
Why "serve the world?"
- Needs are huge - physical, spiritual, relational, emotional
- By serving the world, we are serving Him
How to serve the world
- Action > Argument (Mark 9:14-15)
- Don't argue about the failure but not fix the problem in front of you
- Be careful of those who want to embarrass someone because of their failure
- Discerning in our action (Mark 9:21-22)
- He looked for cause, not just the symptoms
- He was patient in His ministry to the family
- Act for invitation (Mark 9:23)
- We serve to help them get to Jesus
- Faith is not a key but a lens
- Act with compassion (Mark 9:24-25)
- Compassion for the father
- Compassion for the boy
- Act in power (Mark 9:26-27)
- Not power on our own but empowered by Him
- Prepared to act (Mark 9:28-29)
- Submitted to Father's authority
- All our authority is delegated authority - we can accomplish what He has sent us to do
