Now lets get started. Passage Number 1. The first verse on
the subject of Serving Others is Philippians chapter 2, verses 1 through 11. It says:
If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of
the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion, make my joy full by being like-minded, having
the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit,
but in humility, each counting others better than himself; each of you not just looking to his own
things, but each of you also to the things of others. Have this in your mind, which was
also in Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to
be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes,
the death of the cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name
which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven,
those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Passage Number 2. The second verse in our
study of Serving Others is found in Matthew chapter 20, verses 20 through 28. It says:
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, kneeling and asking a
certain thing of him. He said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Command that these,
my two sons, may sit, one on your right hand and one on your left hand, in your Kingdom.”
But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup
that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
They said to him, “We are able.” He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be
baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is
not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” When the ten heard it,
they were indignant with the two brothers. But Jesus summoned them, and said, “You know that
the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
Whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant, even as the Son of Man
came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Passage Number 3. For our third verse, we turn in our Bible to John chapter 13,
verses 12 through 17. It reads: So when he had washed their feet, put his
outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?
You call me, ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord.’ You say so correctly, for so I am. If I then,
the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
For I have given you an example, that you should also do as I have done to you.
Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither is one who is
sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
Passage Number 4. This is from First Peter chapter 4, verses 7 through 11. The scripture says:
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober
in prayer. And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a
multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift,
employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God.
If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may
be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Passage Number 5. The fifth verse is from Mark chapter 10, verses 42 through 45. The Bible says:
Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers
over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But
it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.
Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all. For the Son of
Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Passage Number 6 is from Romans chapter 12, verses 1 through 13. It says:
Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. Don’t be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good,
well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. For I say through the grace that was given me,
to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think;
but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy,
let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; or service, let’s give ourselves to
service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives,
let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. In love
of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another, not lagging
in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles,
continuing steadfastly in prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
Passage Number 7. The seventh verse is found in Galatians chapter 5,
verses 13 through 15. The Bible says: For you, brothers, were called for freedom.
Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one
another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as
yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
Passage Number 8. The eighth verse on the subject of Serving Others is from Luke chapter 22,
verses 24 through 27. It reads: A dispute also arose among them, which
of them was considered to be greatest. He said to them, “The kings of the nations lord it over them,
and those who have authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’ But not so with you. Rather,
the one who is greater among you, let him become as the younger, and one who is governing,
as one who serves. For who is greater, one who sits at the table, or one who serves?
Isn’t it he who sits at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
Passage Number 9. Our ninth verse is from Matthew chapter 23,
verses 8 through 12. The passage states: But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi’,
for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers. Call no man on
the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. Neither be called masters,
for one is your master, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Passage Number 10. Our tenth and final verse on the subject of Serving Others is from Colossians
chapter 3, verses 22 through 25. It says: Servants, obey in all things those who
are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers,
but in singleness of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord
and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for
you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done,
and there is no partiality. This concludes our Bible study on the topic of Serving Others.
