10/19/25 - Serve with Honor: How Big Is Your Serve?

In this Sunday morning sermon, Alan continues the “Serve with Honor” series with the message “How Big Is Your Serve?” The lesson opens with the story of the “keeper of the springs,” a parable illustrating how quiet, faithful service sustains an entire community, even when it goes unnoticed.

The sermon then turns to Mark 2:1–12, the account of four friends who carried a paralyzed man to Jesus. Through their determination, compassion, and faith, they overcame obstacles to bring their friend before Christ. When Jesus saw their faith, He forgave the man’s sins and restored him physically, revealing the power of service rooted in faith and love.

Alan emphasizes that every believer has been uniquely gifted by God, much like a fingerprint, and each person is responsible for using their gift to bless the body of Christ. The message challenges the church to serve without seeking recognition, to honor the “keepers of the springs” among us, and to use every gift, large or small, in the mission of seeking and saving the lost.

The sermon closes with an invitation to respond to Jesus, reminding listeners that true service always leads people to the grace, forgiveness, and new life found in Christ.
