This Sunday, we explored Jesus' demonstration of servant leadership during the Last Supper as he washed his disciples' feet. At the very peak of His influence, Jesus chose to serve rather than be served. It is this same selflessness that Jesus calls us to — to use our influence and privilege to serve others rather than expecting to be served.

Sermon Notes
Check out some of the key takeaways from this past Sunday's sermon.
This week's scripture was John 13:1-15
This week's scripture was John 13:1-15
- Jesus loved his disciples fully, not conditionally. Despite knowing Judas would betray him, Peter would deny him, Thomas would doubt him, and all would desert him, Jesus loved them completely. His love for us isn't based on what we deserve—which is great news for all of us.
- True influence is demonstrated through service, not status. Jesus laid aside his rabbinical robes, symbols of his authority, and wrapped a towel around his waist. The cure to selfishness is selfless service. If we want to follow Jesus and aren't serving others, we're not truly following in his way.
- We serve because we have been served. As Henri Nouwen said, "Only when we have the courage to be served can we have the courage to serve." Jesus does for us so that we'll know what to do for others.
