Pastor Ryan explores the essence of true discipleship through the lens of Acts 2 reminding us that following Jesus isn't about convenience, but deep devotion.

And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”Romans 5:8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 2 Corinthians 5:20–21 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.Ephesians 6:19-20 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35 ESVDuring the last supper, Jesus instructed the disciples and gave them a new commandment - "that you love one another." This is not just a suggestion, or a good idea. Jesus tells us the way that we should live in relation to one another. This week, Pastor Ryan brings a passionate word on the implications of Jesus washing his disciples' feet. This powerful act of servanthood reveals the heart of God's upside-down Kingdom. Jesus not only teaches us but also demonstrates how we are to serve others. His call for us to do as He has done is a reminder that we were created to serve, just as He has served us.
