How do we know that our service to God is not needed?

Answered in 1 source

Our service is not needed because God does not require us to fulfill any need; He is self-sufficient.

The sermon teaches that God does not need our service. This is highlighted in Acts 17:24, where Paul says that God does not dwell in temples made by human hands, nor is He served by human hands as if He needed anything. Our role as servants is not to meet God’s needs but to fulfill His purposes. The very idea that we could be 'needed' implies a deficiency on God’s part, which contradicts His nature as all-sufficient. Instead, our service becomes a means through which God receives glory, demonstrating His grace and mercy. This underscores that while we are called to serve, it's ultimately about His work in and through us, not our own efforts.
