Podcasts about serve one another

1 Peter 4:7-11 (Part 3) Synopsis

Secure enough to serve — Episode 1 The scriptures make it clear that we are to serve one another. "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." (Galatians 5.13)But what will give us the confidence to truly love, serve and care for one another? That's what we're exploring today in a new series on John 13, continuing our exploration of, One Another Christianity, based on the Bible's "one another" commands and promises.This is Episode 1: Secure Enough to Serve.Episode 4: Secure Enough to Serve We've seen that the "one another" commands call us to love, forgive, encourage, bear with and serve one another. But if we're honest, that isn't easy.Living this way requires vulnerability and courage. It means risking rejection, misunderstanding and disappointment. And that can feel impossible unless we're deeply secure in who we are.Having a strong and settled identity is vital, not only for us as individuals, but for the health of our churches. If we're going to finish the race faithfully, and help our friends, neighbours and loved ones do the same, we need to know who we are.So, who are you?We all have many identities. At school, I was "the headmaster's son". Today, I'm a minister. To the insurance company, I'm a homeowner and a policyholder. In my family, I'm Penny's husband, Talaya's grandfather, and Fred and Lydia's father.Those identities are real. But are they my deepest identity?There's an recent film (Hail Mary) where an astronaut wakes from a coma, and the first question he asks is, "Who am I?" It's one of the most important questions any of us can answer. Jesus knew the answer.In John chapter 13, everything is about to change. Jesus is spending His final evening with the disciples before the cross. Instead of giving them one last dramatic speech, He does something stunning. He washes their feet. John gives us the reason before describing the action."Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God." (John 13:3) Jesus knew where He came from. He knew where He was going. He knew the Father had entrusted everything to Him. Because His identity was completely secure, He was free to take the role of a servant. Humility grows best in the soil of security.The more secure we become in God's love, the less we need to defend ourselves, prove ourselves or compare ourselves with others. We become free to love. Free to forgive. Free to serve. Free to live out the "one another" life Jesus calls us to.Perhaps that's a good prayer for today: "Father, remind me who I am in Christ. Help me find my security in Your love, so that I can serve others with the same humility Jesus showed."Reflection Questions: Which of my identities tends to define me most strongly? How does knowing I belong to God give me the freedom to serve others? What is one practical way I can show Christ-like humility to someone today? If you have any questions or feedback, please contact me at malcolm@malcolmcox.org.Many thanks for listening. May you grow ever more secure in Christ's love, and from that security find the freedom to serve others with joy.Take care, and God bless.MalcolmImage courtesy of Lumo Project Films – www.lumoproject.com

In this Father's Day message, we continued our One Another series by looking at the biblical call to Serve One Another from Galatians 5:13. Through the stories of Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar in Judges 3, we discovered that God equips His people to serve by filling them with the Holy Spirit, preparing them through His Word, and using the gifts and opportunities already in their hands.No matter your background, abilities, or season of life, God can use you to make an impact. Christian freedom is not meant for self-centered living but for loving and serving others. As we surrender to the Spirit, apply God's truth to our lives, and faithfully use what He has given us, we become instruments of His grace in the lives of those around us.

By Michael Fike - We are told to have Unity, but how do we obtain it. Today, we will cover four Biblical aspects of Unity that we all should be striving for.

This week we explore Galatians to understand how God calls use to serve one another.

Memorial Day reminds us that freedom came at a cost. As we remember those who served and sacrificed, maybe it's also a good time to ask how we can serve the people God has placed around us.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 2nd of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of John 13:14: “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet”.Spoken by the Prince of Glory humbled Himself and washed the dirty, dusty feet of His servants, His disciples. What an example!Then we go to Acts 6:5: “And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit,…” What happened? The apostles were so busy trying to feed the widows and the orphans and take care of the needy that they were not spending enough time in prayer and preparation and preaching. They said, “We will have to bring some men in that can do the menial jobs so that we can spend time in the presence of God. And who did they choose? They chose Stephen and a number of other men. Stephen was a man who became the first martyr in the New Testament. Folks, we need to understand something - If we want to really be used by God, we must humble ourselves. We must serve one another. We have a men's prayer meeting early in the morning, and the boys come together. This morning we were at that meeting and what a beautiful meeting it was! A lot of these men are ordinary working men. And women, I want to say to you as well, I just love that housewife. Oh yes, yes - what a job you have got! Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a housewife. She was chosen to serve, to wait upon the greatest Man who has ever walked on the face of the earth and He is coming back soon. As we contemplate Easter, Easter Friday will be tomorrow, as we think about that, l want to say to you, let us start to serve one another. Men always banter. Do you know what banter means? It doesn't mean that they are sarcastic, but they joke with each other, that is what men do, and this morning I had to laugh because the electrician in the group did a bit of plumbing and the plumber wasn't very happy with it. He said, “You are coming into my territory”, and they had a good banter and we all had a great laugh, but do you know what they do, both of those men? They serve their fellowmen. They fix the electrics when they break, they fix the dirty plumbing when it needs to be done, and they do it unto the Lord.Today, let us be waiters and serve one another as we think about Easter.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

Join us with Pastor Chad Benson as we continue in our One Another Series, diving into Serve One Another.

We live in a world where everyone wants to matter and be noticed. But Jesus redefines greatness, not by popularity, position, possessions or power, but by serving. We all have been given various gifts to serve. It must remembered that gifts are just that, gifts. We are not the authors of them, they have been designed by God for each of us as He sees fit for the purpose of serving others.

In week 6 of the One Another series through Galatians 5:13-14, Jono Spear shares that through Christ we are freed from the condemnation of the law and the power of sin, receiving the gospel promise by faith. That freedom is not for ourselves but to serve others in love, extending grace to neighbors in both our vocations and locations.
