One Another
Serve One Another
As followers of Jesus, we are not only called to serve—we are called to become servants. In the final week of the Called: to Serve series, this message invites us to look closely at how Jesus models what it means to love one another through humility, availability, generosity, and community.
In John 13, Jesus gathers with His disciples on the night of the Last Supper. Knowing His time is short, He does something unexpected. He takes the posture of the lowest servant and washes the disciples’ feet. In a moment filled with meaning, Jesus shows that serving one another is not about status, recognition, or convenience—it is about love.
Jesus tells His disciples, “I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you” (John 13:15). This was not a command to literally wash feet, but a call to live with the same servant-hearted posture toward one another.
Key Scripture Reference
John 13:1–17 – Jesus washes the disciples’ feet and models humble service
Matthew 22:37–39 – Love God and love your neighbor as yourself
Acts 16:17 – Servants of the Most High God
Revelation 22:3 – God’s people identified as His servants
Characteristics of a Servant
Throughout the message, we see four defining characteristics of a servant of the Most High God:
Humility – Letting go of pride, recognition, and self-importance in order to love others well.
Availability – Making room to be interrupted and intentional with people right in front of us.
Generosity – Serving even when it costs something, motivated by love rather than comfort.
Community – Loving and serving those in our everyday spaces, not treating people as projects but as people.
Why This Matters
We all want to feel seen, known, and loved. When we serve one another the way Jesus served us, we make His love visible in everyday moments. Serving is not just something we do—it is part of who we are becoming as followers of Jesus.
Next Step
Ask God to open your eyes to who He has placed right in front of you this week. Take one intentional step to serve with humility and love—whether that’s joining a Life Group, serving on a team, or meeting a practical need.
