Good Friday

Hundreds of years before it happened, a prophet described someone who would be "pierced for our transgressions" and crushed so others could find peace. Who is this servant?

Followers Who Serve
Preacher: Tim Maddock

Series: Believe & Have Life
Reading: John 13:12-17
Could serving others really be the blessed life? In John 13, Jesus — the Lord of the universe — takes on the role of the lowest servant, and then tells his disciples this is what following him looks like. This message digs into what that means for us today, and why we can only truly serve others once we've understood how we've been served.

Series: Believe and Have Life
Reading: John 13:1-11
What does it mean that Jesus says "unless I wash you, you have no part with me"? In John 13:1–11, the foot washing points forward to the cross — where Jesus humbles himself to death to cleanse us of sin and give us not just a clean slate, but a clean state.
