Champion Life Centre-Scarborough
Sunday Celebration Sermon – September 7, 2025

Preacher: Jerry Berenguer
Message Title: Love That Serves
Message Text: John 13:1-17 NIV Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
13 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

1. If you don’t learn to serve in secret, you won’t serve in public.
2. If you don’t learn how to love, and serve the house of God, then you won’t be able to be used by God.
Galatians 6:9-10 NIV
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

3. If you don’t learn how to serve in the insignificant, in the small, in the areas no one else wants to; then how can you serve anywhere else?
John 13:4 NIV
4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

A LOVE THAT SERVES
1. A WILLINGNESS TO GET INVOLVED
2. A WILLINGNESS TO HUMBLE DOWN
3. A WILLINGNESS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Matthew 20:28
28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Philippians 2:9
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name…

LET’S TALK
1. Share a time in your life when you served in secret. How did God use that time to bless you?
2. Discuss the blessing you’ve received from serving in our church now. If you aren’t serving, what will you do to get started?
3. To have a more blessed life in the next year, how will you step into serving in the insignificant, in the small, and the areas no one else wants to?
