15 Bible Verses About Serving and Volunteering

 



Christians are called to serve others and we all need inspiration and biblical reinforcement for what we do. 

Whether that is volunteering for the local church or serving as a church employee, we all need to be reminded of what the Bible says about serving others.

Here are 15 Bible verses that speak to God’s purpose and expectation for us to serve others.  I pray this inspires you!

 

1. “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.”   Hebrews 6:10

2. “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.” Proverbs 11:25

 

3. “The greatest among you will be your servant.”  Matthew 23:11

Practice hospitality.”                                                               Romans 12:9-13
