"Our Example" 03.27.22

One of my very favorite times of the year. It's I love this and I love Christmas. I love the holidays. I do love that. But I love the Easter season. I love what it stands for. I live what it represents. I love that. We celebrate Jesus. And so this series is going to be running through Easter. This is our Easter sermon series called Jesus, is somebody say Jesus is a man. So, we're looking forward to this sermon series. And so the first message this morning, I want to start off with in our new, a sermon series called Jesus is his Jesus is our example, somebody say, Amen to that this morning. And I want to go to John chapter 13, verses 1 through 5 this morning and every year, it seems like we we go over the Easter story. And some, you know, what, you would try to pull out different things every year depending on what the spirit leads us to. And so, I pray that something with grab you and the Lord would touch your heart and your mind this year as we go through Easter. I Pray that you that he just gives you a whole new perspective of the sacrifice. That was really made for you. And I and N N. I pray that that today, we understand that there was a such a great example that was set before us that we could walk and we could talk as Jesus. Did you say preacher had? We do something like that through the power of Jesus. How many knows that we can't? There's never been there either be no way possible for you. And I to do this outside of the power of Jesus and his Spirit, but how many know that we in Christ we can do all things and that you and I are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus here on this Earth. You say preacher. How does God speak? How does God move? How does God do things in this? Our how does he do things in the world today? It's you. And I How many knows that that that that that you are the voice. You are the hands and feet of Jesus today. And so we want to talk about. Jesus is our example today. John chapter 13 verses 1 through 5. This was the Last Supper, their last meal together. It says he was brought before. It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the father and having loved his own who were in the world. He loved them to the end. Somebody say, Amen. The evening meal was in progress and the devil had already prompted Judas. The son of Simon Iscariot to betray Jesus and Jesus knew that the father had put all things under his power and that he had to come from God and was returning to God. So we got up from the man. We took off his outer garment and he wrapped a towel around his waist. This is one of the most humbling scriptures are parts of a story that I've ever in the whole scripture. I love it all with this breaks, my spirit. I want you to get this. I want you to set this scene in your mind. The savior of the world. God's only begotten son.

List, all of Heaven behind. Humbled himself as a man was born, in a lonely manger that walked an upright and perfect life. That done great Miracles and mighty wonders and what a Ministry that Jesus had. It was celebrated by some hated by many and crucified by mob. But that same. Jesus that same holy perfect guy, that's savior of the world. Humbled himself. Do the place of a servant every single day? And it says here that he got up from the meal, if you took off his outer clothing, you wrapped a towel around his waist. And after he had poured water into a basin. Began to wash his disciples feet. Drying them with a towel. But he had wrapped around him. Would you say you mean the word this morning? If I could just for a second preach on Jesus is our example, let us pray to Heavenly Father. I thank you. God, I love you for your beer at this in this room this morning. Got to go. Thank you for the conviction that I already feeling the service. Got I think you that I could give it all to call right now. And I believe that people would come forth. Thank you for your love and your mercy and your grace. God Lord. I Thank you that you have set us aside for this moment y'all or that you to put this message in my heart and I pray that you would give me the ability under your power and your spirit in your anointing to preach this truth of your gospel. God, give us two years to hear what you would say into your church. And God I'll give you all the, praise the honor and the glory. In Jesus precious name in the church, set a man. A man, a man. Jesus is our example, over the past few Services. I've been talkin about our adversary the devil. I've been preaching the last couple of weeks about how the Devil is a deceiver and it and Wednesday night. How many knows that that he is a Accuser. Thank you. He is accuser of the Brethren. How many knows that he is a liar. He is a deceiver. He's an accuser. He's a lot of things. And some of you say preacher, why you free so much about the devil. I don't, I'm exposing the tactics of the enemy because how many knows if you know what it is that coming against you. How many knows? You will acquit yourself to buy. I am not be deceived by the enemy because he knows, he is a deceiver. And so I've been preaching on the enemy, and I was leading up to this Easter series on Wednesday night. I preach. He is accuser, but we also have an adversary. How many knows I'm thankful for the adversary this morning. I'm thankful that I've gotten a guy that fights for me. This morning. I'm glad that in my circumstances, the enemy would come against me with accusations, when he would try to make me feel inadequate when he would try to shame me and guilt me, and make me feel, as if I'm nothing or not important. How many knows I'm glad I have a Jesus that stands in s my Advocate today and he fights and plead my case a man. I'm glad that I have a Jesus that shed his Precious Blood that no matter what the accusations. And whether they be true or false, and how many knows his blood can cover a multitude of sins? And how many knows that there's no light that there's no darkness that he won't light up, and there's no mountain that he won't climb up coming after you. And I, how many knows there is no darkness that you've ever been answering. If there's no sin that you've ever committed. It's too great for the blood of Jesus. How many knows? I'm thankful for Jesus this morning. And as we get ready to celebrate, what is probably the single most important weeks in the history of the world. As our savior pay, the ultimate price for the sin of mankind. Somebody shot a man to that. I get excited about Easter. I get excited about what it represents. I'm excited that Jesus paid a price that we could not pay him in a debt that he did not. And every year I try to figure out how in the world am I going to do such a story Justice? How many medals did? I don't have to the story itself is enough. How many nose hairs, no more power than what is already in the gospel of the good news of Jesus? The spirit just spoke to me and he said that you don't have to do anything else. It's enough. I don't have to have bells or whistles because I am now that is great and God gives me illustrations and different things, but how many knows just the truth of the Gospel? Has a good. Nose is still enough.

But as I read that story of our savior sitting down for the last time at the Mill, with the 12th that he had, chosen his knowing that they were going to be one that would betray him and others that would scatter. The savior of the world. What A Savior this morning? What a king that we serve today a man, but as I've been meditating on the life and the death of our Saviour, I couldn't help, but ask myself. I've asked us this question before but I want to ask us against because I feel like it's so important because I see the reaction that people get in their life. I see the look in their eyes and I see the wheel in their Spirit when they find out that they may be leaving this Earth. EBay Evernote want to talk about how many people you know, people that have got a terminal diagnosis, and how many knows that nothing terminal to a God says, but how many nose when you get the news? How many knows when the c-word is brought up? How many knows that that that we automatically the devil? Just overwhelms us with fear. And how many knows when it when you use that using a nut that have been there. You know what I'm talking about? When you face this impossibility, how many nose when your doctor looks at you? And says you've got months to live, how many knows that that it does something to you with. It does something to your mind and it does something to eat just changes the whole perception of the way you look at the world and how many knows that Jesus. He knew he knew from the very beginning, but how many no snow down as we drew close to the end that we come closer and closer to that day? And how many I was it? Begin to get realer and realer and realer how me knows that has he In the garden, it says that it was so stressful. And that even he is, it becomes great drops of blood. How many knows? That's a different level of stress. And how many knows the savior of the world has the one that that that came to Deliver Us from seeing. If this stress of leaving, this Wade was a stressful thing. I mean those death is stressful, but how many how many knows him knowing that that he only had a week left to come? He knows that that I begin to think this, I'll begin to ask myself and I begin to examine myself in the life that I live now. And if I were to find out that I only had one recruit any, what would I do different? Because how many notes you and I would not just simply do what we always do if you knew for sure that you only had one week left. How many knows that you probably are not going to get up in the morning and go to work.

You're probably not going to do the same old stuff that you're probably not going to mow the yard next week. You know, I'm saying, like you're probably not going to worry with trivial things that aren't really going to matter. How many knows what I'm talkin about. How many knows you're going to do the very your, your most very favorite things. How many knows you're going to probably eat your favorite foods? And how many knows if you were on a diet? Once you found out you only live in a week, it's over.

How many knows you just going to go out? You're going to eat what you want. You're going to do, what you want to do. You're going to, you're going to do, you're going to visit your going to go to your favorite destinations. You're going to try to take as many things off your bucket list. You're going to start trying to spend time with those people that you love the most, he knows you're going to gather your family around. She's you're going to love on the people. That's that yet that you would that you love. You're going to you're going to get with the people that you've got. Some things that you know, that need to be settled, you're going to get with those kind of people who you're going to apologize for your wrongs. You're going to set that other Cricket things in your life. You're going to try to get him straightened out before you leave this. How many knows that if you do it on your last week, you might as well do it this week.

How many hours is why would we continuously put off things that we know we should settle straight and do? How many knows why would we have push off things that we know that we would do, if it was our very last week. How about we start living every single day as if it was our last day? And how many knows that's what it takes. I'm out, spending time with those. You love the most insane things that you've been putting off. His many of us. No doubt. It would probably sleep as little as possible. Let me know. So I would, I try to sleep as little as humanly possible. I'd want to enjoy every last second of every last minute of every last date and I'd want to try to get the most out of every day most out of every moment when you only have a few days left, listen to there is no wasting time. If you only do what matters the most and what matter, what is the most important to you, knows, when you have a limited amount of time left, you don't waste You do only, what is the most important to you and only things that matter the most? Jesus knew that he only had 2 hours remaining until he would be hung on the cross by the very ones that were cheering, his name, just days before. So knowing that he only had a short time left. We ask ourselves. What is it that Jesus was doing on his last week, his last hours? Because how many knows that that's what's most important to a man is what he chooses to do in his last hours. So, what was Jesus doing? We read here in John 13, 1 through 5, that it was, it was just before the Passover Festival in Jesus. Through the hour had come to that. He had to leave the world. If Jesus knew that he is time was run out. His time was over, his time was up. He was about to make the transition from here to there. How many Jesus do that? His time was running out? And how many knows it says that having loved his own, who were in the world and how many hours he loved them to the very end? How many knows that is that Jesus stood by his 12 disciples as the meal was in progress. He already knew that the devil had went to Jews that Jude has. He already knew that has? He looked in the eyes of those me. How many knows? He knew that they would also got her. How many votes did John was the only one that would go to the Cross, all the rest of them scattered? And how many knows that Judas would betray him for just 30 simple pieces of silver, knows the evening was progressing at Jesus knew that the father had already put all things under his power and that he had come from God and was about to return to God's to listen, Jesus. In all of that moment, knowing that he only had a short time left knowing that he only had two hours to go into Jesus simply who pushes his plate to the side up to his feet. And I was one of the most humbling things I've ever seen baby. Will you help me? Will you sit right here in the middle for me? Just sit right here. Jesus, the savior of the world. The Saviour of Glory that the Son of God, the sacrifice verse in the Holy One. All of the things that we would say he gets up from the table, he pushes his plate to the side. He takes off his outer, garments places, a towel around his waist and humbles himself.

He begins to get on his knees. Begins to take and washed the feet. Of his disciples.

Those that even Judas, that that would betray him how he knows. He he washed the feet. Of his disciples.

The most humbling act. How many knows that the Servants of the house, were the ones that were chosen to do this? How many knows? It wasn't the. It wasn't the host of the party that done this part. It wasn't the best of the best that done this. This was, this was below them. It wasn't the religious people of the day that dumb this part. It was only the lowliest of servants. It was only the ones that were there. It was only the ones that would had nothing.

It was only the ones that had nobody. It was only the loveliest of service. But how many I was Jesus? The son of God, chose to Humble himself as a man and washed the feet of the dirtiest part of who they were. He he chose to wash the dirtiest part of who they were. He chose to Humble himself to kneel on his knees to put all of the things just happen. All of the glory goes to become a humble servant this morning and wash the dirty parts of who they were. And how many knows? I'm glad that we still have a saviors. That's willing to wash the dirty parts of who we are. And I'm glad that we still have a savior that's willing to steal, his get on his hands and knees and wash the parts of us, and nobody else wants to touch that sucks. That says, I love, even the prices that nobody else loves. And I love the people is that nobody else was I love everyone? Everything everywhere. How many knows? I'm glad that I still serve. A God that loves us this morning. Hey, man, I'm glad that Jesus this morning, humbled himself as a man that came in and it becomes my servant and wash the feet of his disciples. And how many knows those disciples. Did? He loved them to the very end? Even Judas? The one that would betray and how many knows I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited about the fact that Jesus loved me, even when I didn't deserve to be loved. How many painful this morning. Roman, sorry, we quoted often, but God demonstrated his own love toward us in this that while we were yet. Sinners Christ died for us. How many knows, I'm glad that when I had dirty feet and he said, you loved me. I'm glad that. When I had a garment that was tattered and torn, I'm glad that when I had sent and that was a pound in my life. I'm glad that when I was found is that he came to deliver and set the captive free. I'm glad that he could see that. I just meant that I didn't deserve it, but he was worthy, even though I was not worthy that he wasn't Still Loving Me In Spite of me and he had a Royal Road prepared for me. How many times thankful this morning for Jesus Through the demonstration of the love that? He shows us. How many knows he sets the perfect example of the love, that we shouldn't return show other people. I see so many times how we try to justify our hate and our actions toward others. How many knows what I'm talking about when we we always plead our case and why it is that we should treat us. I mean those we seek and although they've done this with a known that how many of us and I'm, as guilty as anybody, how many other people in the way. They treat people were like you need to fix that. How many else but when it comes to me and my situation I might well they deserve it, knows. I treat them this way. I treat them. How many knows that there is no justification for hate. How many hours did Jesus left a perfect example? He knew those that would be trained to use those. That would not walk with him and he knew how many wash their feet. Anyway, how many of Jesus at the perfect example of love, John 13. 34 to 35 and he says this and a new command. I give you listen this what he said this disciples a new command. I will give it to you. Love one. Another as I have loved. You must also love one another, he knows he's has been accused of you should steal if you love like I love how I choose to wash the feet of those. That hate me. I choose to wash the feet of those that are going to betray me, I choose to listen to just gets real deep real quick, and it gets really hard and I understand that it's not fun. I understand that you don't want to in your flesh, do this. But when we have the love of Christ and how many knows you'll still washed the feet of those that are going to betray you. If you'll still wash the feet of those, still love those that has that don't love you back. You'll still treat those me. How many nose like Jesus would treat them. Jesus is our example this morning. How many knows about this listen? 35, it says a whole lot verse. 35 says, I'm a mouthful. It says it's by this that everyone will know that you were mine. How many? No. See if you, if you love one another, that's what he said. He said, he did. He listen. He did not say, you will know them if they went to this church or that church. How many else he did not say if you're this denomination or that denomination? He did not see if you're with this grouping. Or with that group. He did not save him if you're a certain social status and he did not say if you have Dish for that or you can do this and he did not see any of that. He simply said. If you love one another How many notes the church is losing. A lot of people because we treat people just like they do. Aminos, you can't win the world being like the world. You can't win people for Jesus when you love people like they love them coming over. When you begin to love outside the box. When you begin to love outside the box, when you begin to treat people, the way that Jesus would treat him pee. When you wash the feet of those, that would betray you when you get down to the dirtiest parts of people and you still love them any white. How many knows that's when people know that you are he is Will you begin to love in spite of how mean? I was not. The kind of love that we've grown accustomed to in this world as a kind of love. I'm talking about is in Matthew 5 43 through 46. It says you have heard that it said, love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I tell you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

That you may be children of your father in Heaven and he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who loves you. What reward will you get? We're not even the tax collectors, doing that. I mean, I was even the people of the world will love people that love them. Even the people of the world will treat people with dignity that that treat them well. How many knows it takes a child of God, he takes the love of Christ to love people in spite of how dirty their feet are. Coming out to eat twice, the love of Christ, this morning to step outside of yourself and wash, the feet of those that will betray you to your face.

That's the example I'm talkin about that. Jesus left us to Love by he also set the example of serving with humility. How many I was even from the very beginning, it always has made a major just make it that the king of glory would leave his throne in heaven to Humble himself as a man to be crucified on a cross. Jesus. I'll be like, hey, why don't we get one of the other guys to go? What time do. The plant I'll be like, oh, I was into the cross. Let's do something different. Let me know. See if you and I were in charge. That would be though because we don't, we can't rationalize that away. Is this? I will I just we can do something different. We can see how many knows that's the way we do in our own spiritual walk. With God. We're okay with it as long as it is easy, but the moment if we meet resistance, how may know? If we want to throw her hands up and quit, how many knows that you? And I have to be able to push past those difficult times and I like it. And the only way that you can do it is, if you have a relationship with Jesus. Because when I have a relationship, I'm not going anywhere when I marry that girl right there. And I said, till death do us part. That's what I meant. When I said in sickness and in health, when I said, till death do us part. And when I said, whether, we have money, where the rich weather report weather anywhere in between and what, if whatever it takes wherever we go, I'm going with you. Because I meant what I said, you know what, when I come into a relationship with Jesus, how many knows I meant? What I said when I said I want him to be the Lord of my life and how many knows it's not going to be easy? Sometimes cuz there's sometimes that has that marriage is not perfect. Cuz there's a lot of times where marriage is not perfect in a bit cuz you got two imperfect people trying to do a perfect tank. How many nose have three strand cord is not easily broken. When you and your mate, have a relationship with Jesus and he is the centerpiece of all that you are and how many knows you can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. You might say, I don't love him anymore. I don't want to be with him. And how many knows it? When you thinking to love Christ and harvest them that love, that is in Christ. Will begin to rub off on you and you'll begin to love and wash the feet of the people that you do not. Like, Listen, you might not look like him but God has called you to love him and when you begin to love him in spite and how many as you'll begin to start liking them again, how many knows if you love them as Christ? Loved them. How many knows that he'll put a love in your heart like you never had before, but you got to be willing to stay in there and fight somebody saying that wasn't my notes, but that was a spirit of God. So if you listen, if you got something bad to say about that, you take it up with Jesus.

How many hours the truth is the truth? How many knows? He also said the example of humility. I'm glad that this morning, the king of Heaven, the king of glory, would humble himself to be crucified on the cross. For me, that he would be born in a manger and not a castle. Born in a manger, not a castle. We talked about that, dear it during Christmas. How many knows the reason why he was born in a manger and not a castle. There was no adequate when it comes to coming to A Manger that you didn't have to have a social status. You did not have to be a king or a prince. How many knows that you could be a Shepherd in a field? And a wise man from afar or the king of whatever? But how many knows that there was no social status? Because everybody had the same access to tell me knows when the veil in the temple was rent in 2018 between us and him how many elfs window before before that and will preach his back. But before that, how many knows the priest in the holy people. They only wanted to actually enter the presence of God and how many knows that actually in the Old Testament when the priests would go in? And they know what they would wear Bells around the bottom of their other garment, and when they would go into the whole, what they would call the holy of holies, they would go into that place. And they went to the begin, the offer of a sacrifice and if they wasn't any sin in their life and how many knows that that priest would be striped death in the way that they knew. The spirit of God was moving and that the sacrifice was accepted as you would hear those bells began to ring on the bottom. How many know she will begin to feel and hear the spirit of God. Begin to move upon that priest and if it if they win it for the Unholy as they would be struck dead and they would keep a rope tied to the foot of the priests. So they could pull them out because they couldn't go in the presence of God. Let me know if that's. That's that's par for Domino's. That's the kind of present I'm talking about how many knows if you could only grass that kind of power. But listen, when Jesus was crucified on the cross and how many of the veil that separated normal Ordinary People, from that, great presence of God was rent in 20 from top to bottom, and it's separated him so that you and I could freely walk into the presence of a holy God. How many knows that I believe no matter what you're dealing with this morning. There's no addiction has no fear. No anxiety or depression and I don't care what it is and I believe that you turned yourself in the presence. The holy God, if you walk into the holy of holies, I believe that there is enough power in that place and it has present to change every circumstance to change everything. I'm telling you. There's no Pokemon exports of hell. This morning. They can stop those that pursue his presence. They sent it was written Twain. It was separated, listen to half of. This is not even in my knows. How many, what's the spirit of God wants somebody to know this morning? He wants somebody to know this morning that. He's an example for you to death, that he was born in a manger, not a castle that he would eat with Sinners and not with the, with the religious Folk. Listen, I've been trying to tear down religion, ever since, we started its intensified in the last few months. How many else I'm sick of religion. I'm sick of people sitting in the church, pews every single day and do the going to die and go to hell. Lisa. I'm sick of religion. We need relationships. How many miles did this? That, that that he would Minister to the broken in the needy and those that no one else wanted anything to do with, you know, who Jesus was sent with the people that we wouldn't.

You know who would go to Jesus's Church? The people you wouldn't let in yours.

Listen. If I were to be straight-up honest, if the 12 disciples would walk up in half the churches that we have around, how many knows they would not be welcome. Because how he knows that he did not choose the people that most men would choose. How many knows that the head that he did not pick them because they were that they were the greatest tank. How many knows? He chose the infant because he wanted everybody to know that it was the needed. It was the broken and it was the hurt and listen to Peter was a, what's a heathen Peter today was like a constant fight with him. But how many Jesus kept loving him? And he said, to Peter, on this rock, I build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it. And I believe that God is trying to end this last day. Raise up a remnant of people that say, looking, I don't look like what you thought and I don't sound like, what you thought, who put the power of the anointing of the Holy Ghost of God is on me. And how many knows that I'm going to wreck this world? And I'm going to rip these communities in the states. How many nose is he's raising up and end time people that don't look like it. We think they should spend, how many knows the power of God that we read about in scripture. It's the power of God that they carry.

How many knows that's the people that got his racing up? Hit don't look churchy sometimes and how may know sometimes their Heathen sometimes like the crashes? But how many know that God is racing up? Some people who is that he is going to transform him. Such a white is that people cannot help it. Say, look what a God they serve. How many notes I believe God's racing up? Some people that they can't question because he said look if they change, anybody can change me. How many else if they went from whose they were? They are now. It's got to be God. Help me know. So I know people that setting churches for years cuz they're real good at being church because they can do all the right things. I can say all the right stuff if they can fool you to their your face. You can take my God. What an anointed woman of God and only little do you know, who is that at night when they're home by their self in and they think nobody else is watching these, they're doing some ungodly things that nobody knows about how many Noah's are living. A double standard large by Liv, one way in front of people and another way at home and how many notes I believe that that that the time is come with, that will no longer cut the mustard anymore and I believe that it will no longer stand. I believe that God is raising up an anointed people that are going to walk up right before he has. And they're going to live what they say. In Jesus name.

Listen, that he would Minister the broken in the lady that warns that everyone else. Pushed to the side. And now, just one day before he would be crucified. He would humble themselves and wash the feet of the servants that were standing before the king of glory humbled himself. As a servant you wash their feet, the actions of a man with little time left, show you the most important things to him. How mean I was when you look at the last moments of Jesus. All I see is love humility coming up so we can have a lot more love and humility passed around the church today. How many was Jesus left a perfect example? And in this time our Saviour chose to love and serve with humility. How many oz is a pastor of this church as a leader in our community. I choose to serve with humility in love. I choose to stand in boldness and declare the truth of God's word, how mean I was I'm not going to back down because of culture. I'm not going to listen to, you can't cancel Jesus. You can't cancel God's word. How many knows that we are? God is racing up. A people that cannot be canceled. That cannot be shut up. That cannot be pushed to the side that we are. Raising up a generation that will declare the goodness of God, to the generations before us. And with us, in in in in in the end of time. I believe that God is raising these people up. Even asked if he was hanging on the cross, listen to this, how powerful, even if you hang on the cross, having been beaten up and spit upon and mocked and humiliated. He cries out, father, forgive them.

That's a crazy love.

He would humble himself as a servant, wash the feet of the most dirty parts of those that would betray him. You would love him to the very end. And even on the cross after being beaten as no, man would ever be beating. He still prays for them. For they know not what they do. Let me know what an amazing love. Somebody say. Amen to that. The Bible says, actually, in John 15:13 this, that greater love has no man than this. The lay down. One's life for his friends. How many John? 3:16 for God. So loved the world. It's so loved the world. That's so love means he loved with every Bit of love. There was to love with. All of it. He so loved the world that he gave his one and only son.

That's how much God loves you this morning. He says, I'm not going to send anybody. I'm not just going to give any old thing. I'm going to give the very thing that I value Above All Else. I'm going to get the most important parts who I am for you. In the chance that you wouldn't even love him in return.

Knowing that they would be something that would never choose to let him back. He loved anyway. Jesus is our example. Listen, you and I are called to love even in situations where they may never love you back.

Amy knows that stuff. Because it's hard and it's what we're calling to do.

You separate your hat on my love. I like to have you don't have the ability within yourself. But when you begin to experience this love, I'm talking about it. Opens up a whole other realm of possibilities in your life. I'm here to tell you the love of God is still enough to transform the hearts of the darkest people. Listen to Philippians 2 B. Is this and being found in appearance? As a man. He humbled himself by becoming obedient unto death. Even the death of the cross. Listen, I'm Amazed by the love that our savior show to the very end. I'm thankful for his mercy and his grace. I'm in all of the humility in which he served. I'm challenged by the example that is set before us to walk as he did. Listen, I want to say this to you. May we be the hands and feet of Jesus to the lost and dying world that we live in. May we choose to serve with humility and love and may the world know that we are his disciples because of the love that we show to everyone everyday. Everywhere staying with me this morning.

Jesus, is we going to be talking about this for the next four weeks? I'm excited about where God is going to take us. But today I went you understand. Jesus is our greatest example today. The last hours of Life, tell you what's most important to Jesus to love and to serve with humility. Was on the top of the list. I asked you was at your heart's cried today. If not, I pray that you come up here this morning, you put believe it or not, in this little old church in downtown Mount Sterling, Kentucky. God is willing to do a heart transplant on you in Jesus name. You said preacher? I'm bitter. I'm frustrated. You don't understand my path. You don't understand why people have done to me. You're right. I don't I don't know your personal story. And I don't know where you came from and fit. What I do know is that I've met Jesus and no matter where you come from. No matter what you've done, no matter what hurt you experience. God is going to give you the ability to cut through the supernatural, power of the spirit to love in spite of those with dirty feet. You're going to love of his fellows that will betray you. You're going to love my pit. Those that are persecuting. You said all manner of evil, against you, falsely for my sake. How many knows you're going to love those people? How many knows you're going to be different than the world? If you're going to walk after the perfect example, that is Christ, Jesus. This morning. Here and you don't know Jesus. I want you to know one thing. He loves you enough to die for you, but he didn't stay dead. He rose again on the third day and complete and utter Victory. And how many knows he ever live at this morning to be the intercessor between you and God that Advocate that you needed that representation before God the Father. Cuz that's who Jesus is this morning and you have an advocate today. If you sent that he said I would that you not seeing him, but if you do, You have an advocate with the father. I mean else, I'm glad that he still stands in the middle. This morning, if you're here and you're lost, my brother is getting ready to sing. If you're here and you're lost. I want you to come to the front. I want you to just kneel at your feet. Repent of your sins and ask him to come into your life and ask him, to be the Lord of your life. How many knows that he'll transform anybody in this room? That's willing to offer themselves up available. Says. I just want you to be available. So, if you're here this morning, I want Jesus to be the Lord of my life. Is Salters open. You're here this morning. You got some deep cut, some deep wound, some things that you don't want to let go of his, some hatred that you've allowed to follow up on the inside of your heart. I believe God's going to release you from that this morning and I believe God is going to give you a love and that will transform your life. Not only your life and put the people that have hated you, but it's going to transform their lives. And how many knows if that's the power that's in the love of Jesus and when you begin to share it and it will transform the heart of those, that hated you fellows, that persecuted. You be treated you wrong. And how many spent in your face and how many Knows No Doubt. What would the soldier have failed that day when he heard this, man, that I just beat to a pole. Pray for me. I asked you the same question. What would your enemy have to say? If all they heard coming from your lips was prayers to the father. Because you choose to love and serve with humility in this Kingdom this morning. I believe we can all find a place to pray because I don't know about you but I need more Jesus in my heart. I need the love of Christ in my life. How many nose this morning? It's available in this house. My brother's getting ready to sing. If you're lost, come if you're struggling, if you're good to go. Why don't you still come and say God help me to be? Alright, to the lost and Dying World either way? And I believe God's calling us all to an altar of prayer. This morning, as my brother begins to sing. Let us pray this morning in the name of Jesus.
