Good Morning Friends, Holy Week has carried us through triumph and tragedy—Palm Sunday, betrayal, denial, crucifixion, resurrection—and now toward Pentecost and the gift of the Spirit.

Good Morning Friends, From time to time, many of us have served a meal to those with less privilege—only to discover that receiving service from them can feel harder than giving it. In today’s text, Jesus meets this same tension in the Upper Room. At the Passover meal, He kneels to wash His disciples’ feet, … Continue reading Are We Willing To Both Serve And Be Served For God’s Glory? →
