Serving Others | Pastor Steve Wilburn | Philippians 1:7-11 | Core Church LA
Takeaways:
– Real love is a choice, not a feeling. God loved us before we did anything to deserve it. Biblical love (1 Corinthians 13) is patient, kind, and action-oriented. It loves when people agree with us AND when they don’t. It’s praying for that difficult family member, loving your spouse when you’re not sure you like them, and reaching that coworker who has caused you grief.
– Seek God’s will in every decision. Just as God closed doors for Paul in Asia Minor to open the door to Macedonia, God directs our paths when we truly seek Him. Are you praying about your work, relationships, and daily decisions, ending each prayer with “Not my will, but Yours be done”?
– Love with knowledge and discernment. Our love should be rooted in what God says about love, carefully discerning how to serve others in ways that truly help rather than enable. We serve not to earn salvation, but because we’ve already been given salvation through Christ.
This week, be encouraged to ask yourself: “Am I loving those around me the way Christ loves me?” Consider replacing the word “love” with your own name in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 to see where you stand in this high calling.
Let’s choose to be vessels for the Lord, reaching the lost and loving others—not for what we can receive, but because Jesus first loved us.
