Episode Synopsis
Send us a textSunday Morning | September 3, 2023 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KYOn September 3, 2023, Pastor John's sermon focused on John 13:1-20 and explored four layers of meaning and four points of application. The passage marked a major transition in the Book of John, shifting from signs to the revelation of Jesus' glory. It introduced the concept of being "in the world but not of the world," drawing parallels to the Amish community's approach to modern conveniences and technology, emphasizing the importance of community. The first layer of meaning was the prior context, highlighting Jesus washing the disciples' feet, a shocking act in ancient times. The second layer was personal, focusing on Peter's initial resistance and the idea of spiritual cleansing. The third layer was about the pattern of Christian conduct, emphasizing that Jesus set an example of serving others. Finally, the fourth layer was the parallel meaning, as Jesus simultaneously demonstrated service and identified Judas as the betrayer. The sermon concluded with four ways to be a servant: receiving Christ's service, not confusing attendance with acceptance, dealing with one's heart, and blessing those who persecute you, ultimately leading to a reflection on Jesus' ultimate act of service in Philippians 2:3-8.You can join us on Sunday mornings at 11 AM for worship.
