    Palm Sunday shows Jesus to be a humble king who came to save us. We now want to serve him through our humble service to others.

    Did they ever air this show in Canada? (Show opening clip of Lone Ranger.) I got to watch re-runs of the Lone Ranger when we’d come back to the Sates every few years.

    Jesus' words of "Give Me To Drink" were preceded by John 3:15 (Salvation); John 3:30 (Lordship), then comes John 4:7 (Service).

    Read John 4:1-10 I. First - Salvation John 3:1-21 Especially v15 As Jesus begins His Ministry, He first shows us Salvation Not religious – for Nicodemus was VERY religious. Not a good person – for Nicodemus was a good person. Not someone who knew who God was – ...read more

    Serve Like Jesus Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 8, 2013
     | 5,965 views

    In the account of the expression of Christ’s love, the washing of the disciples’ feet, we see 1) Service Stated (John 13:1), 2) Service Spurned (John 13:2), 3) Service Shown (John 13:3–11), and 4) Service Shared (John 13:12-17).

    If there is one reaction that people are having to the recent Roman Catholic pope it is his history and focus on service. Many questions are arising on his Maundy Thursday washing of feet. Some are welcoming the efforts with a sense of new found enthusiasm. Others see the new pope as abandoning the ...read more

    Is your life devoted to acquiring things? Is it devoted to doing God's will? What are your priorities? What is your life?

    What Does Love Have To Do With It?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 25, 2023
     | 1,021 views

    John 13:31-35 contains perhaps the most remarkable command given to Christians: that love for others is the characterizing indication of faith for ''all individuals,'' denoting the existence of a genuine believer.

    Jesus outlines this as a new commandment, utilizing His own model as the norm. In giving this charge, Jesus indeed predicts His looming demise and exit from earth. To cherish others was not another new commandment (Leviticus 19:18), but rather to love others just as like Christ loved others was ...read more
