Having the Also Spirit

Having the Also Spirit

Having the Also Spirit challenges believers to serve God with a willing heart that looks beyond the minimum. Beginning with Rebekah at the well in Genesis 24, this sermon explores the difference an unselfish response can make. A request for water becomes an invitation to examine our own attitude toward service.

Rebekah did more than answer the need placed before her. She offered to water the camels also. Having the Also Spirit draws attention to that readiness to give time and effort without bargaining over the task. The message asks whether our devotion seeks the easiest requirement or a greater opportunity to serve.

However, the challenge reaches beyond one biblical account. Micah 6:8 brings justice, mercy, and humility into focus. Jesus’ teaching about the second mile adds a test of our response to inconvenience. Together, these passages call listeners to consider the spirit behind their obedience and generosity.

Having the Also Spirit offers material for preaching on servanthood, humility, commitment, and Christian living. Its illustration makes the message easy to remember and apply. The sermon can speak to volunteers, ministry teams, and an entire congregation. It encourages believers to notice opportunities that a hurried or reluctant heart might miss.

The account of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet gives the message another example. Having the Also Spirit invites listeners to learn humility through their relationship with the Lord. It challenges a faith that asks only what it can avoid and points toward a life ready to respond.

Preach Having the Also Spirit when your audience needs willingness to serve. This sermon can support an appeal for dedication, generous participation, and faithful involvement in God’s work. It leaves listeners with a question worth carrying into the week: where can I offer more care, more effort, and a more willing response to others?
