The Necessity Of Humility

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 23, 2025

All to often in the business world we thrive to succeed at all costs - I want to be the best! Sometimes we do this at the expense of others and we know this is wrong. Jesus taught us what we should be like with other people and how important humility is in our daily lives.

The necessity of Humility LUKE 14:7-11 In this morning’s reading from St Luke’s gospel JESUS chooses a homely illustration to point to an eternal truth and perhaps a hard lesson for us to learn let alone practice! Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be ...read more

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 7, 2024

Toward the end of last year I mentioned that for 2024 there would be a heavy emphasis on discipleship.

Washing Feet Today we continue our quest for excellence in discipleship, and our key passage is John 13:1-17 and we will get there shortly. I’d like us to take a quick look at the The Gospel of John: Although it is one of the 4 gospels, it does not fit into the synoptic Gospels for a few reasons, ...read more

Building The Church By Serving Each Other Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Sep 11, 2024

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.

Serving Like Jesus Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jul 28, 2024

One of God's major objectives for us is to be conformed into the image of His Son and one of the primary ways God wants us to conform to the likeness of Jesus is in our service. Jesus came to serve and to give and so we must also serve and give.

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Nov 18, 2024

This sermon has us looking at the mighty works of Jesus, for us, by examining the hands of Jesus, as He brought: healing, soothing, patience and care, and salvation through HIs hands.

Good morning family and friends in Christ! It is so great to be here to see each and every one of you today. The great thing about this day, is that it gives those of us who have not accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior an opportunity to do so, and for those who have already accepted Jesus, it ...read more

A Love That Covers A Multitude Of Sins | Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Nov 20, 2024

What is the highest Christian Virtue? We might have different points of view, but the Bible tells us that it is LOVE. What is this love? How do we practice it? Dr. Madana Kumar, PhD exposits on 1 Peter 4:8 to bring this concept alive.

A Love that covers all Sins Arvi and Aarav (our grandchildren) are happier children in the past week. One of the reasons for their extra joy for the past week has been the presence of Neville and Supriya (our son and daughter in law) at our home. But I am sure that their pet dog Bowie contributes ...read more

Demonstration Of Royal Service Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 1, 2024

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

Getting Our Hands Dirty

Contributed by Steven Devroy on May 15, 2024

Humility Of Christ

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024

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

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

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 19, 2024

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
