A Heart of Servant Love

James Rochford

John 13:1-35

Why would anyone want to pursue a lifestyle of sacrificial love? Sacrificial love is motivated by having a new identity in Christ. God loved us first and gives us an example to emulate. Giving is the key to a happy life. This will make us or break us. This was the last teaching Judas heard from Jesus and he walked away to betray Jesus. This servant love convinces others that God's love is genuine.

Why This Waste?

Chris Risley

John 12:1-6

James Rochford

Jim Leffel

The Old Testament was filled with the symbols of what Jesus would accomplish as a reality in the New Testament. The animal sacrificial system was only a shadow of the saving work Jesus would do on the cross.

John the Baptist

Brian Adams

John 1:19-37

John the Baptist testified that he was not the Messiah but that he was paving the way for Him. He cultivated a lifestyle of humility by never trying to any fame for being the Messiah's announcer. We can cultivate a mindset of humility by thanking God for who He is, by learning what God says about us, and considering how to serve others.

Arm Yourself with Readiness to Suffer

Ben Foust

1 Peter 4

Human nature apart from God will always pursue personal comfort and pleasure. But that is a recipe for disappointment. Christians have a category for enduring suffering because they are living for something greater than themselves. Peter instructs his audience to arm themselves with the willingness and expectation of suffering for the sake of the Gospel because they can entrust themselves to a faithful God.
