Show Notes

This week in our Upper Room series, we discussed Jesus’ powerful act of service during the Last Supper, as recorded in John 13. Spencer walked us through the moment when Jesus, fully aware of His coming death, His authority, and even His betrayal by Judas, chose to kneel and wash His disciples’ feet. We considered how, in Jesus’ culture, this humble task was more than a gesture—it was a radical model of love and servant leadership. Spencer shared personal stories and practical insights, reminding us that Jesus’ call isn’t just about literal foot-washing, but about loving and serving others regardless of our own circumstances or status. Throughout the message, we explored how following Jesus’ example brings blessing, not just to those we serve but to ourselves as well. This teaching challenges us to reflect on how we can show Christ’s love in everyday moments. We invite you to consider: how might you follow Jesus’ example of humble service this week?
