    Being Disciples

    A sermon for Maundy Thursday.

    John 13:1-17, 34-35 Being Disciples You wouldn’t think it would be all that difficult. We are all formed from the dust of the earth, but the same Creator. Basically, our bodies are pretty much the same. We all get sick, we all need to eat, we all go to the bathroom. All of us are lonely ...read more

    "the Towel, The Basin, And The Command To Love"

    based on 1 rating
     | 271 views

    Tonight, we gather in the sacred shadow of the upper room, on the night when Jesus showed us what love really looks like. It’s not dressed up in flowery words or grand gestures meant to impress. It’s gritty. It’s raw. And it’s humbling.

    Opening Prayer Let us pray: Gracious God, as we gather on this holy night, we are drawn to the upper room where Your Son shared His final meal with His disciples. Open our hearts to hear Your Word anew, and may we be inspired to love one another as He has loved us. Amen. Introduction Tonight, we ...read more

    Signs Of Love In The Strangest Places

    Contributed by James Osborne on May 10, 2025
     | 277 views

    The Love of Christ demonstrated by His Servant Leadership during His ministry must shine through us as we humble ourselves to serve others in His name.

    SIGNS OF LOVE IN THE STRANGEST PLACES 02-25-2024 INTRO: Most of, if not all, of you folks are aware of the fact that both Wendy and I lost our Mothers at the relatively young age of 36. In both cases we saw our Father’s demonstrate amazing levels of devotion to our Mothers by taking care of them ...read more

    Find Your Towel

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025
     | 62 views

    Jesus gives authority to serve, not rule—power shaped like a towel, lifting others, revealing love’s quiet strength, and mirroring His heart.

    1. The Ladder and the Towel My senior pastor once stood with me in the church fellowship hall staring at a row of framed photographs—portraits of evangelists who had conducted meetings through the years. His finger paused on one. “H. M. S. Richards, Sr.,” he said softly. Then came a line I’ll ...read more

    The Cure for Covetousness. Creation, redemption, and completion all declare one truth— Christ has provided everything we need.

    Introduction The Sabbath has always been God’s weekly reminder that enough is enough. It whispers through the quiet hours: You can stop striving now; you already have Me. And yet, in a world that never stops chasing more — more success, more recognition, more possessions, more happiness — it’s ...read more

    Building The Church By Serving Each Other Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Sep 11, 2024
     | 1,598 views

    Though the word “serve” isn’t explicitly mentioned in Acts 2:42-47, the early church served each other. As Jesus demonstrated service by washing His disciples' feet, we are to serve one another through our gifts, tangible acts of help, prayer, hospitality, and generosity.

    In this final sermon from the "Serving Like Jesus" sermon series, we review the important lessons from each of the sermons in order to try to put the whole series into practice, so that we can serve like Jesus.

    A. One day a professor, a preacher and a professional golfer went deer hunting together. 1. They were all novices, but wanted to try it. 2. They had been out all day and towards dusk they all spotted a 5 point buck at the same time. 3. They each took aim and all three fired a shot at the moving ...read more

    Demonstration Of Royal Service Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 1, 2024
     | 519 views

    Jesus had so little time left for His disciples to learn that the way to glory is through service and not through position and authority.

    Just before tonight’s passage, as recorded in Luke 22 and Mk. 10, the disciples had been arguing over who would hold the leading positions in the government Jesus was about to set up. The discussion was heated. They were caught up in the ambition for position and power and authority. Surely this ...read more

    Apostasy is a falling away from the faith. Now see a man who turns away from Christ to the world. It stands as a strong warning to every man who professes to follow Christ.

    Now we see a clear picture of betrayal and apostasy. Apostasy is a falling away from the faith. Now see a man who turns away from Christ to the world.

    Humility Of Christ

    based on 1 rating
     | 985 views

    In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

    Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more

    Foot Washing

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024
     | 2,078 views

    One of the lowest things that a person could do in NT times was to wash feet. Jewish slaves were not allowed, only Gentile slaves. Jesus shares an important lesson for us all.

    I want you to imagine for just a few minutes, you’re in a little upper room lighted only by candlelight in the city of Jerusalem, and the time is some 2000 years ago. Into that room came 13 men. They do not wear shoes as we wear shoes. They wear sandals and the dust and sand cover their feet as ...read more

    Serving God

    Howard Ingram had an old saying, “Many Christians have just enough religion to make them miserable.” Serving God should be one of the greatest things in the world.

    Many Christians have a wrong idea, view, and attitude toward serving God. There are those today that do not love God’s service. It should be the greatest thrill and joy of our lives. John 15:16; tells us that we are chosen by God. Many, when talking or preaching about service, want to tune you ...read more

    Using the Superbowl ad of washing others feet, this sermon compares that ad with why Jesus did that with his disciples.
