Why You Serve Matters More Than How You Serve
Description
What’s the difference between serving God and serving yourself while using God’s name? In this message, we dive into 1 Corinthians to confront a dangerous trap: doing the right things for the wrong reasons. The early church in Corinth was gifted, passionate, and deeply flawed—their worship was chaotic, their communion was selfish, and their motives were misplaced. But Paul’s message to them still speaks today: What you do matters, but why you do it matters most.
We’ll explore:
How every Christian is called to ministry—but not for applause.
Why God cares more about your heart than your spiritual résumé.
The sobering truth that even good deeds can bring judgment if done with pride.
How the gospel frees us from performance and reshapes our “why.”
Whether you’re burned out, checking boxes, or serving with secret pride, this episode is a reset. Because true ministry doesn’t start with your hands—it starts with your heart.
