sunday morning march 8 , 2020
Hope all you're doing well, just remember all the stuff that's going on and just rub it the main thing that matters. God's in control of all of it. So we just have to leave it to him. Ron has got a couple of nice, but she needs to give and then we'll get going with our service. Not as tall as brother Chad, but I'm going to fill his spot today. So as far as announcements goes Junior Youth Camp money is due next Sunday if your child, is that age and going to camp. You need to turn in $50 next Sunday to Cynthia.
Also, I don't know if this has been told in a few weeks, but we have our church calendar that we put out and it has activities on it through July and says they're out there on the Lord's supper table in the hallway. If you want that to to kind of keep up with stuff right now that's activities that are on there are still planned. We understand that with everything that's going on. Like Steve said with the coronavirus we might have to postpone activities. But right now we're just moving ahead and we will face those activity as activity as those dates come up, so One of those things is our birthday luncheon, which is the last Sunday of this month. There is no sign up paper. I understand there was confusion last week, but there's a sign that paper on the Lord's supper table that is to sign up if you're willing to decorate a table and you can pick any month that you want unless there's already names there and that means somebody else is already decorating there to that table. We still need I believe it is 8 months signed up for so if you're willing to decorate a table sign up for that today again, if we have to postpone it we'll just postpone it and I'm pick up with those names that are on the list when that comes up. I'm also the community-wide Easter egg hunt is still in the motion of will decide that in a week or so if things need to be canceled, that one would have to probably be canceled or postponed hard to post on Easter that we need candy lots of candy for that and there is a Signs, she's me times of candies.
There's also planned on the evening of the twenty-ninth to have a pizza and Easter eggs stuffing social so there will be charged. It may be a mini service, but it will be charged and then social to stuff the Easter egg hunt. I'm trying to see if there was anything else that I missed. I think that's all.
Let's have a war. Well, we just thank you for the time you gave us to come in your house where we know all the stuff that's going on in the world today that you're in control of all that fun. And we just thank you for all the blessings and stuff that you give us father. We lift up those who are sick with it. Those who are home today due to his father. We just pray for them and thank them for everything they do father, but we just pray that this goes through and and of course you're going to take care of a father and just help us we go to the service this morning with her brother. Mike has the saying is there's a holy spirit speaks to us as he speaks. I just thank you for all you do for us in your holy name. We pray. Amen.
Then you want me to call and send me the Game and Lil Wayne.

This morning. We have brother Michael Fisher coming up to freak Forest him and his family for being here this morning just to open our hearts to him and listen to what he has to say this morning to bring God's word remind.
What a blessing it is to be here this morning. Know any time you get off today to bring God's word you jump on it. My heart is set right now that music to prepare your hearts and by preparing it like that. Y'all to be open to receive God's word. You know I Feel Love is the great motivation we have in life. It's what shapes are so that helps us to move it helps us to be servants to God's word. And often time the type of love we showed is what we've been raised up with what we've been brought into but the love that God gives us. One that Christ went to the cross for us in an example of Crisis. Give us I'll be the type of Love week show one another not to look at one being greater than the other. But they look at each other's brothers and sisters be willing to serve be willing to go out there and and help those in need don't look at yourself being there while I'm the boss you're going to do what I tell you to do. Jesus didn't have that attitude folks. That's the mentality we have in churches today that we have in society today. And what we ought to be doing is going forth and loving one another. Serving one another being examples for the world to see cuz we are living Bibles believe it or not. And you might be the only person that gives a Christian lifestyle for somebody to see we have to step out in faith in and not be afraid to surf the love. Today, I'm going to be at the Book of John and chapter 13.
You know what? I'm going to begin first one cuz Jesus faced a lot of difficult times at this point that we would consider be impossible. He knew the outcome, but yet he still proceeded. So I'm going to ask you if you can if you're able to stay in reference to God's word and John 13. beginning verse 1
the Bible reads now before the Feast of the Passover when Jesus knew that is our was coming that he should depart out of this world. I do the father having loved his own which were in the world. He loved them until the end. And supper being ended the devil have now put to the heart of Judas Iscariot. Simon's son to betray him and Jesus knowing that the father had given all things into his hand and that he was come from God and went to God he rises from the supper and laid aside his garments and took a towel and girded himself and after he poured the water to a basin he began to wash the disciples feet. Where was he was guarded then coming to Saint Peter. A Peter safe and to him Lord do is down wash my feet. Jesus answered and said to him what I do about newest not now, but now she'll know us Hereafter and Peter saved him Thou shalt never wash my feet of Jesus answered him if I wash the D, not that I'll have no part with me and Simon Peter say it to him Lord not my feet only but also my hand and my head let us pray. We ask that you just come in a pod with us today or if you would open our hearts to receive they have that a wisdom knowledge and understanding of your word Lord that we can take your love to her that we can walk out there it without the fear of any viruses are for what harm people can do to us, but that we live for you that we are examples for others to see that we love and cherish you so much that we're willing to serve others out there today church tonight that we can bring them to know you that weekend. You'll see your kingdom grow and prosper Lord father. We ask that you would be if this church and all churches that stand for your word that they preached that Patrick have backbones that the tell that of truth that the church the that we have the willingness to go out there and to serve not think we're better than others not to be Hypocrites but that of humble servant by Louis acid. You just got us this morning Lord be at this nation. Or we ask that you just show us your will bring your name. We pray we ask it all Lord Jesus. Amen. You may be seated. We owe Jesus face some tough times. How many of you would be willing to do what Jesus did for us? I don't think there's a man or woman alive that can possibly do it. But now I think it's time to Peter. He's always like I'll do it. I'll go with you to the end. Did Jesus know he's about to be betrayed? Jesus knew that one was going to deny him and he knew that 10 of his disciples were just going to depart and Scatter like the flock. He said they would is tough times come what do we do? We have to learn to be taught to walk by faith folks. We have to walk in and inside of knowing that Jesus is our Answer To Everything. Jesus has been through it all for us. And he said most difficult Point here. He says he's 12 disciples. And he's got them separately. These are his last meeting with them before he's going to put the death what we call the Passover. He's sitting up there having with them supper is in and he's up there knowing that the devil has already come in and influence the Judas Iscariot to betray him. Habitrail we know what it feels like always have friends. We know people who have betrayed us. But Jesus had this loyal disciple and all the time he knew he was going to be. He'll be in so much God In the Flesh being himself he knew what was going to happen in the future. If it's any knew that the time has come is in was already up and it's time to go and bring Salvation to the world. And this is last chance to further and instruct his disciples that they can lead others to come to know him the way they knew it. Do they were so lucky? I have so long just to see Jesus in the walk with him. They got to be in the flesh with him. They got to be there in the flesh and got to see and experience and it's his teachings and they're probably just as confounded we are whenever y'all here in The Parables Pacific I figured out but this is his last message to them. To grow to further not to give up. but the surf and now we come to the point now that that Jesus has already talkin to them. They knew was going to happen. So he stands up and says that he rides from supper and laid aside his garments. He took his his stuff off and he said that he took a towel. hegarty's around him put around soap and he said he poured water to a basin to a washbowl here and he began to wash the disciples feet. I love you, but I don't like washing anybody's feet. All the dirt in the filth. It's on the ground that you pick up. But Jesus did what I slave. That's a slave job up whenever I guess we'll come to the house. It's a slave's job to go and cleanse the feet. Jesus just humbled himself the master himself just put a towel around him and he comes down he begins to wash the feet of the disciples.
You know, I know there are some churches that practice the washing of the feet. I've never witnessed it. But it is done today to remember what price is done for others what he did for his disciples and how he is to do for us. I know it it it he's going around he's washing their feet and it begins to dry with that and he comes to Simon Peter. And we all know. Courageous. I'm in here. I'm going to go all the way to the end. I'm going to ever going to deny you. I'm going to be with you to death. We are know that Christ didn't know when the rooster crows you're going to deny me three times already. He's already at Judas Iscariot. Who's going to the betray them? Here's our that built the Devil. He's departed and gone his weight. And now he's come sonatina the one who's going to deny him.
That's one thing. I hope I never have to do and I never will do is deny. My Lord and Savior is what he said If you deny him, he's going to deny you to the father. But Peter was a brave man, you know, he's sitting there saying I'm not going to do that. I'm going to go with you all the way to death.
But he knew what was about to happen. Jesus knew what he's going to do when he comes inside of Peter Peter stay at the Tim Ward. Do you wash my feet to are you going to cleanse me?
Edgy Xander said what I do now that I know it's not but Val don't know Hereafter and then Peter said it to him Thou shalt never wash my feet and Jesus answered and said if I wash a knot that has no part with me if it wasn't for that other cleansing that Jesus gave you your sins will still be a part of you. We are forgiven her since because of the cleansing that Jesus gives he is the master. He is dead of Salvation. He is the savior of mankind God's Plan of Salvation that has come down and to cleanse us of our sins that we have righteousness in our hearts. Appears like a you're not going to do that to me. It seems like hey, if I don't do this, you will never have a part to do with me. You know, you might not understand what I'm doing now, but what I'm doing you're going to learn in and from this learning experience, you're going to go forth and you're going to further the church. Go see a humble servant. Brother is the the Savior himself preachers you sitting in the pews. We're all circuits. Jesus gave the prime example here. He got down to wash the feet of his disciples. He got down he comes to sign any and sounds like now don't don't do that. She's like no, you're not going to understand cuz you see a person who's going to lead. A good leader will be by examples. Do you agree with that a good leader lead by examples? They're ready to take their troops into battle. They're not going to ask you to do something that they wouldn't do themselves, but they're going to step up to the plate and get dirty right with you. He took on the part of a slave cleaning the feet of his disciples. And here's a courageous Peter 1 not. Nah. Nah. Nah, I ain't going to do that. And I'm sure touching what Jesus said if I don't do this, you'll never have to part with me and Peter answer to him Lord. Not only my feet balls to my hands in my head cleanse me from top to bottom cleanse me off. I want you to tell me what Jesus the heart like that today to be cleanse and go out to serve like that was a master. What is our job to be servants? Not to have positions. You can be the 99 all the way down to a newborn. And we're going to be servants for the Lord. God has way to use you.
And Jesus said to him he that is washed needed not safe to to wash his feet, but it's clean every with and you are clean but not all cuz he knew that Judas Iscariot betrayed him. He knew that his heart was full of that of evil content that they is about to betray him and have him put to death.
Sad times, but Jesus kept pushing on. They said after he had wash their feet that he taking his garments and was sit down again, and he said unto them. No you what I have done to you. You call me master and Lord and you say well for so I am. If I then your Lord and Master have washed your feet. You have to wash one another's feet. I have given you an example that you should do as I have done to you barely barely. I say it to you servant is not greater than his Lord. Neither his Aztec greater than he that sent him if he know these things happy. Are ye if you do,
Jesus just gave us the commission here. He said I know you saw that I got down you call me master and you are so well and call me master.
But if I as a master can step down at cleanse your feet you ought to be able to serve one another one another. He said you don't know what it means yet, but you will cuz when I'm gone, it's up to you to further the church.
I know churches are suffering today. Cuz men women children are not wanting to step up. They allow fear anxiety is to creep into their hearts. I think somebody else is going to do what they should do. If somebody else thinks that you're going to do it nothing is going to get done. Is it not we have to step up and be service we have to step up and and fill the spot fill those gaps and work together to help one another no being there for each other be examples of know if if you're after work jump in and help work must be lights for people to see Snow at church that works together that prays together and stays together will grow together. People are going to want what you have. salvation Jesus Christ That's what it's all about. It's not about just going out there and it's a while. I'm a Christian or sitting in the Pew pictures on bless me if you can. It's about having love and compassion in your heart today. Jesus head love but he did the love of the father and he was motivated motivated by that love that he had for the father and he's trying to be an example for for them to Saint for us to read with no fever Living Word folks they ought to touch your heart and make you grow and want to be an example for others.
I know people who are our VIPs and Company so we get down and get dirty with you. And I know something that would even know what job to do. They just tell you to do it. Expected be done, right but how you can learn to do a job, right? If you never had the example, how do you know you're sitting if you ain't been told you our sitter? If you had not read God's word arrest Christ into your heart. Where would you be today?
Would be lost and going to the devil's town. But we have salvation because we have receive salvation. We ought to be willing to go out there and help others church or unchurched. God's love is for all and we all need sample. How are you serving the lord? Are you willing to go out there and tell others of his love Tell Mother Grace tell that they have salvation if they just receive him repent others.
Are you just proclaiming with the tongue?
If you're at Ruth's born-again child of God, your heart is going to be what shows the love your actions that you produce the fruits that you bear show you're a child of God. We have to serve you don't have to cleanse feet all the time. There is other ways of serving. There's just an example you call me master. You're very good at saying that will let me show you how you're going to serve one another. Are you happy? Will you be all the time you're going to be happy when I have a Zeal and compassion to the labor for God. I may have that deal today, but they go out later God of the word of God the love that he has shown Mankind in Jesus Christ. I mean are willing to do that today go out there to lend a helping hand to those in need.
That's our job. Not to be happy again tipped way things are what the what the further do you want to go out there and to possibly see more come to the Cross come in and receive Jesus the Lord and savior. Jesus new before he ever came down. How's going to be the pain the agony? But you know what? It's like for God to come down and human flesh the fill our pains to fill our gifts to feel the pain that we cost him through our sins. But yet he was still an example for us to follow.
I plead you to step up to the challenge just serve to prosper to grow because God has will for you today. He has a job for each and every one of us. We just have to open our hearts to receive open our ears to listen. I don't do that that bad to steam. I should not be moved. I think.
Get up and labor. Get up and be excited. We can't say that item if we expect to grow. We have to serve the community anyone that we come in contact with that. We call our neighbors. We have to be there for each other. And I'm asking you today to get your heart right with Christ. I'm asking you today that you become at servant that God wants you to be for him. Don't do it to impress people. They look what I've done. DePaul at a lot of credentials in his life, but he never never sit there say hey. This is what I am better than Thursday to know. I am a slave to Jesus Christ. and I'd rather be a slave to Jesus Christ then bonded to this world is Get out today witness and surf help others through love. That we have seen in the example of Christ that we can leave others to know. That is salvation. As we prepare for a song temptation.
If musicians come up and get ready, I want you just to seek your heart doing inventory right now if your heart.
Are you serving? The way that Jesus wants you to serve.
I want you just to Bow your heads right now and you and if you need prayer.
If you have something is burning your heart is Yo hinder you from from serving the way that Christ won't you serve just raise your hand. I will pray for you.
If you need us to come down rededicate your life or receive Christ as your lord and savior today, these offers are going to be open. So let's all just bow our heads and it's go to the Lord in prayer.
