Intro. We all seek to live a life that is pleasing to God. As I heard about Sue falling down some stairs, my heart went out to her and my prayers went up. When such things happen, we need to bring such things before God who is pleased when we ask for His healing and protection of those that love Him. I would like to give you a way to better understand how you can receive the full benefits of the faith you have received, and the salvation we enjoy.

I. Live as a SERVANT of the LIVING CHRIST!

a. Matthew 20:25-28
b. John 12:26
c. Galatians 5:13

II. Live a life of LOVE!

a. Matthew 22:37-40
b. John 13:34-35
c. Colossians 3:12-14

III. Live a life of OBEDIENCE!

a. Ephesians 4:17-24
b. James 1:22-24
c. Philippians 2:12-13

IV. Live a life of WORSHIP!

a. Romans 6:13
b. I John 3:2-3

Concl. Remember, God will never ask you to do anything that He will not enable you to do. Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." A way to remember what we have just heard, Take the first letter of each word, Servant, Love, Obedience, and Worship, and you have the word SLOW. Live a SLOW life and you will be transformed.
