Third of a series on Elisha. Naaman's story of cleansing has incredible parallels for what it means to become a Christian. There is no path to God that does not involve humility.

Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-4
Denomination: Christian/Church Of Christ
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

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
Scripture: John 13:1-6
To explore Jesus' act of washing his disciples' feet as an ultimate demonstration of humility and love, and encourages us to emulate this humility in our daily lives.
Good morning, Church Family! Let me start off by sharing a beautiful quote from the renowned Christian author and preacher, A.W. Tozer. He once said, "Humility is not a grace that can be achieved, it's a grace that comes when we have nothing left to protect or project or prove." This profound ...read more

When Jesus washed feet, he was really washing hearts!
The story of Jesus washing His disciples feet is only found in John. The synoptic record the story of the dispute between the disciples as to who is the greatest. John does not record that story; instead he tells the story of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet. The story is a counter to the ...read more

Jesus understood full well that in a few short hours all those 24 feet that were so wonderfully cleansed would soon desert Him and run for their life and flee from His presence... And He knows it. They don’t know it. Only the feet of John would stay put.
Disaster struck me one day when I was a boy. I don’t know where in the world my little sister came back to the house real dirty and smelly. Some type of dark sticky slimy stinky substance was all over her and she was crying up loud. She had tried to get rid of it by using her dirty hand and as you ...read more

Being the church requires we show one another the full extent of our love.
I’ll wash yours if you wash mine. Thinking about last week and the verse John 13:34 and 35 where Jesus says “A new command I give you love one another as I have loved you. All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” We talked loving each other as Jesus loved us and ...read more

A Story for Maundy Thursday.
I want to tell you a rather strange story.It`s the story of a man called Peter (not the Peter we see in the Bible - it`s the story of a modern day Peter and his wife called Mary). Peter loved Mary very much indeed. He was always telling her how much he loved her - showing her too, in lots of ...read more

The extreme willingness to serve, seen in Christ’s washing of feet, sets the example for us.
He Washed Feet Cornwall/Montreal March 19, 2005 Being servants is not a modern concept and is one that, frankly, we don’t appreciate all that much. We live in an age of ‘rights’ and when we try to fight for rights- when even students will go on strike to try to force a provincial government to do ...read more

The Mississippi River is called the Big Muddy and rightly so. This is a message about another "Big Muddy" River.
WASHING IN THE BIG MUDDY 2 Kings 5:1-14 INTRO: The Mississippi River is called the Big Muddy and rightly so. I first saw the river at Memphis. It looked like a mass of cocoa moving lazily toward the sea. At one time this mighty river was colored only by the tons of silt it carried downstream. ...read more
Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-14
In a day of "me-first mentality" it is beneficial for us to be called back to a heart of service to others.
This is “Passion Week.” If this were the very week that Jesus rode into Jerusalem, and we were there, imagine the mixed emotions that would dominate the week. Jesus throwing the money-changers out of the temple… and on and on. The Church has long recognized this day – this Thursday before ...read more
