How can I serve God acceptably according to the sermon?

The sermon emphasizes that true service to God begins with receiving grace, which allows us to serve Him acceptably. Hebrews 12:28 states, 'Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace whereby we may serve God acceptably.' It is only through Christ that we can live a life pleasing to God. Our focus must be on Him, not on our efforts. In recognizing our inability to earn acceptance through our works, we find that by grace alone, through faith, we are empowered to serve effectively, testifying to God's grace in our lives.
