We are all called to serve;

We are all called to serve;

Jesus the master serving the servant

We are called for a holy and noble purpose! You were put on earth to make a contribution. You were not created just to consume resources, to eat, breathe, and take up space. God designed us to make a difference with our life.
We were created to add to life on earth, not just take from it. God wants you to give something back. This is God's purpose for your life, and it is called your "ministry" or service.

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Eph 2:10

these good deeds are your service. Whenever you serve others in any way, you are actually serving God (Eph. 6:7).
In God's Kingdom you have a place, a purpose, a role, and a function to fulfill. This gives your life great significance and value.

It cost Jesus His own life to purchase your salvation. "In the same way, the Son of Man did not come for other people to serve him. But the Son of Man came to serve other people. The Son of Man came to give his life to save many people.
Here is the heart of our Hero given in one simple statement. We are to serve and sacrifice for others. It is our legacy. It is our life. It is our Lord's example. We were bought and brought to freedom by the ransom price he paid. We are now called to follow his example and live his life in our world.
You are called to serve God. Growing up, you may have thought that being "called" by God was something only for missionaries, pastors, nuns, and other "full-time" church workers experienced, but the Bible says every Christian is called to service
Your call to salvation included your call to service. They are the same. Regardless of your job or career, you are called to full-time Christian service. A "non-serving Christian" is a contradiction in terms.

Another term for serving God that's misunderstood by most people is the word "ministry." When most people hear "ministry" they think of pastors, priests, and professional clergy, but God says every member of His family is a minister. In the Bible, the words servant and minister are synonyms, as are service and ministry. If you are a Christian you are a minister, and when you are serving, you are ministering.

We are commanded to serve God-if we are saved. Jesus says "Your attitude must be like my own, for I, the Messiah, did not come to be served, but to serve and to give my life" (Matt. 20:28).

God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived. If you are not involved in any service or ministry, what excuse have you been using?
Have you ever wondered why God does not just immediately take us to heaven the moment we accept His grace? Why does He leave us in a fallen world? He leaves us here to fulfill His purposes. Once you are saved, God intends to use you for His goals. God has a ministry for you in His church and a mission for you in the world.
Jesus calls us all and not only a certain class of people to follow him and serve others. God can use anyone, no matter how insignificant he or she appears to be and even when you feel small and useless, you should remember that God uses ordinary people to do his extraordinary work...
When Jesus called His first disciples, He didn’t draft them, force them or ask them to volunteer, but he chose them to serve him in a special way. Most Churches lives or dies on the strength of the people who serve them. We are living in a time of pressure where most families are working outside the homes and most of them work longer hours and therefore the church attendance patterns of committed people are declining and every Minister almost everywhere are reporting less regular attendance and a reluctance of commitment in long term tasks.
God has shown you his grace (kindness) in many different ways. And you are like servants who are responsible for using God's gifts. So be good servants and use your gifts to serve each other. The person who speaks should speak words from God. The person who serves should serve with the strength that God gives
