Sermon: Washing Feet

Yesterday Andrew preached on John 13 and discussed the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the example Jesus set for us.

Physical.
1. Jesus, a leader, chose to be a servant.
2. Jesus did what other should have done, but didn't.
3. Washing feet was a physical, visual and personal service which exemplifies "love one another" of verse 34.

Mental.
1. Don't assume; don't wait for others to learn; point out the obvious.
2. Leadership can be demonstrated by service (servant leaders).
3. Kingdom is not about position.

Spiritual.
1. Source of our service is our relationship to God (see v. 1,2).
2. Purpose of service is to demonstrate Jesus in our lives to one another.
3. Jesus washed the feet of Judas -- even if you have problems without someone, still need to serve them.
