ACTS. 20:35 Scripture Challenge: John 5
Some people have been Christians for years, yet they still think Christianity is all about everyone else catering to them.
The real question is this though: When are they going to grow up and start serving others? Jesus said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. In fact, a sign of real spiritual growth is that you want to serve—not be served.
You see friend, as you serve, God blesses and replenishes you. As you give, He gives to you. Luke 6:38 says, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. . . . For with the
same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." If we go through life thinking, I need this or I want that, we will never quite have enough. That is why we need to learn the joy of giving and the joy of serving.
The church isn't a place where we simply have our needs met; it's aplace where we help to meet the needs of others. The church is also a place where we discover our spiritual gift. Ephesians 4:7-8. Therefore we need to start saying, "How can I help? What can I do? I want to be serving the Lord in some way, shape, or form." This is a mark of true spiritual maturity.

1. Lord I declare that I am full convinced of my service to the Lord and humanity,
therefore I am walk and am not weary, I run and I do not faint
2. I declare that I daily walk in the grace to live a sacrificial life that brings honor to
