Serving God and

Serving OthersGrade 3 Student Fellowship

In Serving God

Deuteronomy 6:12-14 (New International Version)12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD,

who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths (promises) in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;

A Command

Deuteronomy 10:11-13 (New International Version)11 “Go,” the LORD said to me, “and lead the people on their

way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”

Fear the LORD 12 And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you

but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?

Serve the Lord our God

Deuteronomy 10:19-21 (New International Version)19 And you are to love those who are foreigners,

for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. 20 Fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name. 21 He is the one you praise; He is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.

The Promise

Deuteronomy 11:13-14 (New International Version)

13 So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul— 14 then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. (Abundance)

If We Do Not Serve God

Deuteronomy 28:46-48 (New International Version)46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and

your descendants forever. 47 Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.

Do Not Serve Other gods

Joshua 23:6-8 (New International Version) 6 “Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is

written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left. 7 Do not associate with these nations that remain among you; do not invoke the names of their gods or swear by them. You must not serve them or bow down to them. 8 But you are to hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have until now.

Serve God In Faithfulness

Joshua 24:13-15 (New International Version)13 So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you

did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’

14 “Now fear the LORD and serve Him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

In Serving Others

1 Peter 4:9-11 (New International Version)

9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.

Serve To Glorify God

11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Christ’s Example

Mark 10

45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Serve God, Serve Others

You serve God when you serve

others for His glory
