Jesus uses the example of washing his disciples’ feet not only as an illustration of what he did for us on the cross, but also as a picture of how we are to live in response to God.

What is it about sacrifice that scares us? I am not talking about the Sacrifice on the cross but in our daily lives. It wasn’t in front of the crowds that Christ was making a sacrifice it was in His private relationship with God. Christ left his baptism and went into the wilderness to fast and pray.…

But instead he jumps up and engages in the most demeaning task imaginable (for the time): washing his disciples' feet. Why? What was the point? Join Malcolm as he unpacks why and how this menial task informs one of the core priorities of Jesus' followers.

Notes for sermon 1. Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, vs. 1-5. 13:1 – with the Passover looming, we see the nature of God toward His people when Jesus is depicted as loving “his own”, not only since the beginning of his ministry but also “to the end”. This is more than a chronological statement; in…

Hey guys—this is your last warning: Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. It’s the primary day our country celebrates romantic love.
