Sermons About Servant
Gospel Partnership: Do you serve like Jesus?
This week we look at our identity of servant. Jesus demonstrates servanthood in John 13. Because serving is an identity issue Jesus can serve in any manner, even a job that was given to the lowliest of servants because he draws his significance from his Father. Where do you find your joy and significance and worth? Come listen as Steve challenges us to evaluate where and why we are serving. If our significance rests in what Christ has done then we will serve just as He did. Whose feet are you washing?

Lose Your Seat
When a person decides to follow Christ it means modeling the same humility and lack of selfishness that Jesus demonstrated. Needless to say, this is not an easy task. Pride and insecurity seek to choke out our desire to be humble servants of God. Yet God promises that when we humble ourselves in His sight, He will lift us up. This message is an attempt to help us navigate what John the Baptist meant when he said, "He must increase; I must decrease."

Portrait of Devotion and Grace (Psalm 119:145-152)
A vital spiritual life with the living God ultimately depends on only two key components: A Devoted Servant and a Gracious God. Devotion implies the discipline of the prayer and the study of the Word. Grace reminds us that it is the infinite grace of God that both infuses and energizes the spiritual life of His children.
