Sermon Notes: 7/18 – Servant Leadership

Posted on Jul 18, 2021 in Uncategorized |

Scripture Reading: John 13:12-15

²When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? ¹³You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.

Psalm 41:9- Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.

Zechariah 11:12-13- Then I said to them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out as my wages thirty pieces of silver. Then the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the lordly price at which I was priced by them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord, to the potter.

Zechariah 13:7b– Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.

“Jesus, if it’s you, tell me to walk to you on the water!” Of course, Jesus told him to come and he actually started out walking on top of the water. (Matthew 14:28-29)
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16)

“Far be it from you, Lord! We won’t let you die!” (Matthew 16:22-23)

“It is good for us to be here. Let us build three tabernacles right here on the mountain so you can all stay here and we can worship you right here on the mountain.” Of course, we heard God respond and tell us to listen to His Son and Jesus told us to not tell anyone about this yet. (Matthew 17:4)
How many times must I forgive my brother, seven?” Can you believe his nerve? I’m the one who introduced him to Jesus. I mean, sure, we’d been arguing that day, but I never thought he’d actually ask Jesus when he could stop forgiving his brother. That’s me! I was right there and he asks Jesus how many times he has to forgive me like I’m a knucklehead. Wow! (Matthew 18:21)

“I will never fall away! I’d rather die than deny you, Jesus!” We all jumped in with him, but sure enough, by the end of the night, we’d all abandoned Jesus. (Matthew 26:30-35)

10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is completely clean.- John 13:10 Philippians 2:5-8- Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross.

Francis of Assisi is attributed to have said, “Preach the gospel daily, when necessary, use words.”

Kayaking Success

Posted on Jul 12, 2021 in Uncategorized |

Where were the storm clouds?! We simply have to thank God for holding off the rain and thunderstorms for a couple hours so our young adult group could enjoy kayaking together.

Our Central Young Adult group enjoyed playing with the otters, playing chase with a family of ducks, and bumping along down the Caney Fork River in Big Bottom this Sunday afternoon during perfect weather. God’s beauty was on wondrous display!

Our next adventure should see us outdoor rock climbing together in August at Black Mountain. See Topher for details.

YA Bible – Life Together
