August 25th, 2025

This Sunday, we were reminded that real significance isn't found in achievements or status, but in serving others with humility and love. This act of Jesus isn't just about cleanliness; it's a profound symbol of God's grace and our need to accept it before we can truly serve others.

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
- True significance comes from seeing a need and meeting it, not from worldly achievements or recognition.
- We are called to serve others from the abundance of Christ's grace, not to earn God's favor.
- Accepting Jesus' service to us (His grace and forgiveness) is essential before we can genuinely serve others.
As we go about our week, let's reflect on how we can shift our perspective from "serve us" to "service." Where might God be calling us to meet a need in our families, workplace, or community?
