If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done for you.
The best way for us to be one as the body of Christ is for us to be like Him. One of the titles for Jesus is Servant King because He came to serve mankind. Jesus, of course, has many other titles. He is the way, the truth, the life, light bread, hope Master of all things. The list could go on eternally. However, Jesus did not come to boast in titles; He came bearing a towel. The towel shows us His humility and willingness to serve us. As we, together, are one, we become a servant army reaching the needy, hurting people the way that Jesus did. With this truth in mind, let us rekindle the fire of God's Spirit in our hearts, put aside the desire for titles, and take up the towel with the purpose to serve our Lord who has no problem serving us. Let us be one in harmony, service and worship to our God.

John 8:36
Therefore if the Son makes you free you shall be free indeed.
Real freedom comes more by choice than by chance. There are degrees of freedom; it's up to us to choose what degree of freedom we want. In the prelude to the verse above, some Jewish people speaking to Jesus tell Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, you will be made free?' These people apparently failed to consider their bondage to the Roman Empire at that time, but Jesus was actually referring to another kind of bondage. He hold them they were in bondage to sin. Only Jesus could deliver them from those sins. Up until that time, the people seemed happy with their limited degree of freedom, but the Lord told them that they could know the highest degree of liberty through Him - that is, a life of genuine freedom, living in deliverance from all of their sins.

John 8:29
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
Here Jesus speaks to the Pharisees who have questioned Him about exactly who He is. Earlier in the verse 19 He had told them, "You know neither me nor My Father. If you had know Me, you would have known My Father also." These religious leaders had no real relationship with God the Father. Jesus was telling them that our knowledge of Him is knowledge of God. When we honor our Lord Jesus Christ, we honor God the Heavenly Father. The reverse is also true: when we honor the Father, we honor the son. The old saying "like father, like son," is especially true when we speak of God the Father and Jesus. As we honor our fathers today, let us honor our God who set the example by which all fathers should live. God bless you, and have a great Father's Day!

Exodus 12:14
So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.
In this scripture, God speaks to Moses, instructing him to implement the Passover. It is in the Passover that we see the significance of blood sacrifices as a means of deliverance for individuals, families and nations. Jesus brought greater meaning to Passover when He set Holy Communion in order at the Last Supper. The old Passover was a celebration of the rescue from physical bondage to freedom in our mortal lives; Holy Communion is a memorial celebration of deliverance from death unto eternal life. The need for animal blood was abolished and the provision of the blood of God's only Son was instituted. Let us not forget the greatest price for our eternal hope and future.

Luke 13:11-13
And behold there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could no wise lift up herself.
And when Jesus saw her, he called her unto him, and said unto her, Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her and immediately she was made straight and glorified God.
In Luke 13 we read about a woman who had suffered at the hands of the enemy for 18 years. The spirit of infirmity had such a hold on this woman that she was literally bent over in a position of submission. She could no longer lift up her head, and her situation seemed hopeless. But, then, Jesus saw, called her and set her free. She was immediately straightened, and she praised God. So, listen to the word of Jesus your Healer. "Thou are loosed from thine infirmity." No praise God!

Proverbs 1:8-9
My son, hear the instructions of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
It is a shame when children rebel against the teachings of their mothers and fathers. Wise King Solomon knew from experience that receiving parental instrucion is not meant to be burdensome or annoying. It is an enhancement - a means of increased attractiveness - like jewelry worn elegantly. This knowledge passed down brings added value to lives of the descendants who live by it. God bless all of our moms today! Thank you for your wisdom! May each of you be blessed by obedient children.

Acts 2:42
And they continued steadfast in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
This verse speaks of the unity - the connection - the New Testament Church had within its ranks. They Pentecost experience not only brought the people into ta combined anointing, but into continual connection as well. As pastor of Harbor Life Church, my desire is that we all live with that same spirit of unity, being connected in ministry, worship, outreach and love. In 1 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul brings out the truth of what we are - the body of Christ. We are to be a body of believers connected to the power of the Holy Spirit, connected in His presence in worship, and connected to function in each unique calling God has for us. If you've been puzzled about where you fit in - where you can get connected - you may find the place where you belong and where you can make a difference.

John 17:6
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
Last week I spoke on the phrase in John 3:16, whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish. I called this God's Whosoever Assurance Policy. That policy assures us that God can save us however we've sinned, whenever we call on Him and wherever we've been. Today we will get a good look at the Twelve Disciples as they share their thoughts about their journey with Jesus. These twelve are a good sampling of the whosovers who followed Christ. Each man was quite different, with his own personal issues and character traits. All but one stood true to Christ in the end. I am thankful for the love Jesus has for all of us. My hope is that we, too, will all be faithful to our Lord and Savior to the end.

1 peter 2:5
You, also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
I am thankful for the youth and young adults of our church. They have become the "go-to" people to get things done. They lead us in worship and set an example before others. These young people are what the Apostle Peter called living stones. These living stones are important building blocks of the church. Let us all endeavor to be lively, living stones; otherwise, we become malnourished and die, becoming dead stones - stumbling blocks. We must be nurtured to stay alive. We must feed on the manna of God's Word, find refuge in our fellowship with Christ, join the club of disciples, and keep our eyes fixed on the highway to Heaven. This will lead us to a new life, and, in time, to the city whose builder and maker is God.

1 John 4:9
In this the love of God was manifested toward us that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
The perfect proof of God's love for us was presented when Jesus, God's only Son, hung and died on the cross. As the hymn beautifully states: Jesus paid it all. There was nothing left to prove when He died on that tree to redeem us from our sins. Verse 10 goes on to tell us, In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us (Our love for Him was not a condition), and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Propitiation describes Jesus, through His sacrificial death, appeasing the wrath of God and providing a cleansing of our sins. God displayed the greatest love as Christ died on our cross. Do you love Him? Like Him, do you love all others? Verse 11 states, Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

1 Corinthians 13:13
And now abide faith, hope, love these three; but the greatest of these is love.
The word love in this verse is from the Greek word agapao, meaning unconditional love, love by choice and by an act of the will. Agapao will never seek anything but the highest good for mankind. It is an all-powerful love - undefeatable, unconquerable, and everlasting. There are no prerequisites for this love. This is the love Jesus spoke of when he addressed Nicodemus in John 3:16. On Sundays, now until Easter, we will study this love, the agapao love of God that brings eternal life to all who believe in His only begotten Son. God's power - made available to us - is the product of the gospel of His love.

John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Here Jesus speaks of the change from death to new life - of being born again. Spring begins this month on the 20th. We will see new life spring up in the natural world around us. Many of the grasses and shrubs will burst into growth and color. They will come out of dormancy and be new again. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, the Apostle Paul uses "spring-like" language when he talks about the old life passing away and all things becoming new. Before he talks about the old life passing away and all things becoming new. Before he became a Christian, Augustine lived a pleasure filled life. Many years after his conversion, he was approached by a prostitute he once knew, who called out his name. When he ignored her, she said, "Augustine, you know me. Don't you remember me?" Augustine replied, "Yes, I know you, but you don't know me. The Augustine you knew is dead." Augustine could say with Paul all things had become new. I pray this spring season sees new life coming to many through our ministry.

Psalm 27:14
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
David speaks from experience in this verse. He had waited on God on many occasions, and never once did God fail him. Patience is the key. Isaiah 40:31 tells us that when we patiently wait on the Lord, He renews our strength. our text from Psalms reminds us that He strengthens our hearts. Jeremiah, who also speaks from experience, tells us in Lamentations 3:26, "It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." Patience is a virtue and a fruit of the Spirit. One writer put it this way: "Second only to suffering, waiting may be the greatest teacher and trainer in godliness, maturity and genuine spirituality most of us encounter." I often complain in impatience until I realize how patient God has been with me.

Ephesians 2:4&5
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.
Here again are the words that change every situation that precedes them in the bible - But God. I hope you never tire of my mentioning theses two words. But God always follows one of life's bad conditions or situations. They mean that previous circumstances have no bearing on our future because God has other plans and provisions. Anytime satan tells you that you're done or it's finished or it's hopeless or you're a failure, don't listen. Never let these lies of the enemy affect your life. Remember that God always has another plan for you. Satan has never had the final say! In Ephesians 2:3 we read about our condition before we were saved. We were worldly, lustful, evil, and by nature children of wrath. The devil would love to put a period at the end of that sentence...But God! But God who is rich in mercy continues to love us, forgive us and bless us with new life He raised us from the dead! His grace never ceases to amaze me!

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world - our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
In the early 70's, Sharon and I were involves in a radio broadcast - Faith is the Victory on WSST Radio. Each week the theme was to encourage people to walk by faith. When we have faith in God, our fears and problems are dispelled. Walking in faith is sometimes like walking in a thick fog where we can't even see our feet. Still, we know that our feet are there because we can feel them. Similarly, we can't see God, but we know He is there because we can feel Him too. As we feel and experience the presence of God, He builds our faith which leads us to the victory.

Matthew 22:37
Jesus said to him. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
All is a big word. Depending on how it is used, it can engulf everything from the entire universe to the contents of your pocket. All is an inclusive word; in includes everything to which it pertains. All is an awesome idea. God completely understands all. There is no in-between when we say all. If we love God with all of our hearts, then He is everything to us. God is everything or He is nothing. This is why Jesus told john to write to the Laodicean church in Revelations 3:15 & 16. He told them, "I wish you were cold or hot...Because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth." This graphic language makes it obvious that God is serious about our love relationship with Him. He wants - He demands - our all. He deserves it, for He withholds nothing from us.

God delights in our obedience to His word. His delight is recognized when we see the blessings that come in our service to Him. Let's look at the steps we can take as children of God. The obedient servant steps up to the challenge of being righteous and obedient. The negligent servant steps back and misses opportunities for blessings. The disobedient servant steps out, goes into hiding and shirks his responsibilities. We thank God for all the obedient servants here at Harbor Life Church. We recognize all of our volunteers today who have seen the needs, heard the call and stepped up to serve in the various ministries of our church. You are very much appreciated, and you are all winners!

Romans 8:31b
If God be for us, who can be against us?
After completing the READ initiative in 2013 I am convinced more than ever that God is for us. From Genesis to Revelation God proves Himself over and over again. I never doubted it before 2013, but I am even more assured now that God wants what's best for me and you. In his Book the Grip of Grace, Max Lucado states, " Today. At this hour. At this minute. As you read this sentence. No need to wait in line or come back tomorrow. He is with you. He could not be closer than He is at this second. His loyalty won't increase if you are better, nor lessen if you are worse. He is for you." Isn't it wonderful to know that the Creator of the universe will never abandon you? never question the nearness and availability of God. He is with you and He is for you. So, whatever you're going through, have faith. He is there to bring you through.

Genesis 20:50
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
We need the Word of God to accentuate the good in our lives. Every truth we read and then experience means God's Word is alive in us. In the New Year I hope to see everyone in our church find greater victory as we contine to emphasize scripture study and prayer. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph tells his brothers, "You thought evil against me, but God meant it for good." The Hebrew word for meant here means to weave. "You wove evil," Joseph is saying, "But God rewove it together for good." No matter what you're facing now, no matter what Satan has woven against you, God can reweave it to bless you and those around you. You will get through this, and God will get the glory. Let us see another truth from this verse: Other people's lives are affected by the blessings God gives you. Remember, we are family!

He sent the message from his computer through a network to a different unit in his office. Now, decades later, more than a billion e-mails are sent every day. Many contain important news from coworkers, family or friends, but many others contain unwanted advertising or even destructive viruses. There's a basic rule governing e-mail use. Don't open it unless you trust the sender. God sent us a message through His Son a - a message of love and hope. We can trust that sender. Let us continue to read God's message from His Word this year. Find a special daily devotion source that brings the message of Jesus Christ to you in a way that speaks to you. Be faithful to read and take His Word to heart.
