Having a Rich Servants Heart (Part 2)

  • Prayer is critical

    • We need each other, good and bad​

  •  A servant is a minister, not a slave to any other than God

​

How do we wash the feet of others (or server others) in today's world?

  • Small acts of kindness

  • Seek out those to serve

  • Be an example to those around you, family included

  • Love each other

​

Why is it hard to serve sometimes?

  • Fear. Fear of rejection, ridicule, missing out, losing time, etc.

  • Lack of sensitivity or being aware of opportunities

  • Being able to think of others better than yourself

​

Pray for the desire to have a rich servants heart, and to be aware of the opportunities God is giving your to serve

Today's Scriptures:

​

John 13:1-17

Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2 Now when it was time for supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, to betray him. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, that he had come from God, and that he was going back to God. 4 So he got up from supper, laid aside his outer clothing, took a towel, and tied it around himself.5 Next, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around him.

6 He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

7 Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don’t realize now, but afterward you will understand.”

8 “You will never wash my feet,” Peter said.

Jesus replied, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”

9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

10 “One who has bathed,” Jesus told him, “doesn’t need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.” 11 For he knew who would betray him. This is why he said, “Not all of you are clean.”

12 When Jesus had washed their feet and put on his outer clothing, he reclined again and said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are speaking rightly, since that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done for you.

16 “Truly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

​

Ephesians 4:32

 And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
