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.

Washing Feet

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

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

Today, we are reminding ourselves that in the end, the best expression of our faith is by reaching out in love and service to the world around us. Truly, to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to a world that is in need of His grace and mercy can be a messy endeavor for sure.

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

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

Find Your Towel

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

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

Attitude Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023
