Rich Servants Heart 

• We are to be a servant to God

  • God will not ask you to serve in a way that goes against His will, so be mindful of your motives when serving. 

  • To know if you are in God's will you have to know who He is; be in the Word. 

  • The Ten Commandments:

  1. Do not have other gods

  2. Do not have idols

  3. Do not misuse the name of the Lord

  4. Remember the Sabbath

  5. Honor your parents

  6. Do not murder: There is a difference between the death at the hands of a soldier and self defense, and the death caused by corruption and revenge.​

  7. Do not commit adultery

  8. Do not steal

  9. Do not give false testimony

  10. Do not be jealous or covet the things of others 

  •  A tithe is 10% of your income that you give back to God; He will bless you or make you prosperous 

  • God says to test Him on this​

  • An offering is above and beyond that

• We are also called to be a servant to others, not just those in our church or family, but all.

• How can you love others when you struggle to love yourself? The same way we love others, with grace and compassion

• God gives us a list of attributes that He wants us to display, these are the fruit of the spirit​

Bible Passages:

​

Exodus 20:3-20

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

18 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

​

​

Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

​

Galatians 5:14

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

​

Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
