On Thursday nights we’re going through the book of John. We desire that Christians should be taught sound, biblical doctrine through verse by verse teaching of the Bible. We pray that you will apply God’s Word to your lives, by the power of God’s Holy Spirit, all that you learn from His Word. Let God’s Word dwell in you richly and become doers of His Word and not just hearers only.

This bible study is being offered to the membership and friends here at g4J to get kids and adults interested in knowing God’s will for their lives. Join us each Thursday night at 6:00 PM PST. We’ll go verse by verse through the entire book.

Acts 2:42 “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Exodus 15:2 “The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father s God, and I will exalt Him.”

All are welcome!

Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Last Thursday we began our study in the book of John and we learned that we are to look to Jesus and strive each and every day to become more like Him. In all things good, Jesus is our example. We should desire to serve others, not to be served.

During Jesus’ time on earth, slavery was very common. Based upon historical documents, one person in five was a slave. Slavery could be due to a number of reasons such as war, poverty, birth or criminal behavior. Therefore, the many illustrations and examples of slavery in the Bible struck a sensitive nerve with those hearing Jesus speak about serving others. Jesus’ message became even more clear as He willingly washed His disciples’ feet, which was the lowest of duties in a household.

John 13:12-15 “So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ”

Jesus willingly became a servant because He loved us so much. And He wants us show our love for Him by humbling ourselves daily in service to others.

Be a servant!
