Pastor Jim Maynard
First Southern Baptist Church



I. WE ARE TO SERVE OTHERS
John 13: 12-15

II. WE ARE TO SERVE THOSE WHO DON’T DESERVE IT
Philippians 2: 6-7 (NIV) 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness.

Mark 10:45 (NIV) 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.


III. WE ARE TO FORGIVE OTHERS

Dr Jim Denison says, “You can face no fear today that Jesus has not faced. He knows what it is to suffer (Matthew 27:27-31) and even to die (Matthew 27:50). He knows what it is to grieve for someone we love (John 11:35). He knows what it is to face temptation (Matthew 4:1-10; Hebrews 4:15) and to fear the future (Matthew 26:36-44).

“Wherever you go, he goes (Matthew 28:20). Whatever you pray, he hears (Matthew 7:7-11). Whatever you’re thinking and feeling right now, he knows (John 2:24-25)

“He is praying for you, right now (Romans 8:34). He loves you, right now (Mark 10:21). He is ready to calm your greatest fear, right now (Philippians 4:19). He will wash your feet, right now. Will you let him?”
