Unlocking Joy Through Godly Service in Your Church

March 11, 2025

Series: Unlocking Joy

Book: Philippians

Let me ask you a question: What do you want this church to be known for? At Bridge Fellowship Church, we’re committed to making healthy disciples of Jesus Christ—but what truly sets a church apart? Is it great preaching, powerful worship, or well-run programs? No. What makes us shine is our heart behind what we do.

In today’s message, we dive into Philippians 2:19-30 and explore how we can shine as godly servants right here at BFC. Serving isn’t about recognition or obligation—it’s about genuine love for God and His people.

Paul’s words about Timothy and Epaphroditus challenge us to:

  • Demonstrate genuine concern for your church family (v.19-21)
  • Build and maintain a strong track record in service (v.22-24)
  • Let love, not obligation, drive your service (v.25-27)
  • Honor and appreciate those who serve (v.28-30)

A church is only as strong as the people who make it up. Are you actively serving, or are you just here to be served? Today, we challenge you to embrace the joy of selfless service—because when we put God and others first, we unlock a joy that nothing else can provide.
