Recap of Acts 28:1-6
1. Paul showed he had a servant heart in Acts 28 (and thus the mind of Christ).
2. Why serving is difficult:
-we want to be served
-to serve others elevates other's needs ahead of our own
-the low status of some service
-it interrupts our own pursuits
-feeling used by others
3. What ways can we serve others:
-hospitality
-doing good to others (Proverbs 3:27)
-sharing material goods (1 John 3:17-18)
-supporting the Lord's work (2 Corinthians 8:4; 9:1)
-being a peacemaker (Romans 14:9)
-by personal involvement in other's lives (1 Thessalonians 5:11-15)
-by looking after the needs of widows and orphans (James 1:27)
