Inspired by the kindness she once received from others, Quiana Sterling, office assistant at Virtua Primary Care – Moorestown at Young Avenue, is passionate about giving back. Through the Black and African American Colleague Community, Quiana volunteers at Cathedral Kitchen, as well as the Volunteers of America and her local library. One experience that stayed with her was sitting and talking with a man at Cathedral Kitchen who told her no one had spoken to him in a long time — a reminder that sometimes the gift of time can mean the most. When asked how others can begin volunteering, Quiana's response was simple: "Just do it. And you'll find yourself more fulfilled."

This is message 42 in Gospel Record of John John 13:4-20 True discipleship is marked by a heart that has been cleansed by Christ and continues to walk in daily dependence on Him, allowing His Word to remove the defilement of this world while reflecting His humility through service to others. The Lord, though possessing all authority, chose the lowest place to teach that real greatness is found in serving, not being served, and that obedience to His truth must move beyond knowledge into action. Even in the face of betrayal and unfolding events, He reveals that everything is under divine control, calling His followers to trust His Word, walk in purity, and live out a life that reflects His character.

What if the reason you feel disconnected, frustrated, or overlooked… isn't because you're doing too little—but because everything is centered on you?We live in a culture that teaches us to measure everything by ROI—What do I get out of this?But Jesus introduces a completely different way to live… The King's Way.In John 13, Jesus does something shocking:He washes His disciples' feet—taking the position of a servant, not a king.Why?Because serving was never meant to be transactional… it was meant to be transformational.

In this week's message at The Mountain Church, Samuel Goulet walks us through what the Bible says about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and why they matter for our church family. He reminds us that gifts are a grace from God—not something we earn—and they're given “for the common good,” to build others up, not to elevate ourselves. From wisdom and faith to healing, prophecy, discernment, and tongues, Samuel encourages us to stay rooted in Scripture, let love guide every gift, and keep our identity grounded in Jesus. The invitation is simple: let's step off the sidelines, use what God has given us, and grow into a healthy, united church that strengthens one another and brings Jesus to our city.

When the mission ends, the questions often begin. Jeremy Stalnecker spent years building his identity around service, leadership, and responsibility as a United States Marine infantry officer. But when combat ended and the uniform came off, Jeremy found himself facing a different kind of battle, one marked by anger, isolation, loss of identity, and a quiet belief that he was completely alone. This episode traces Jeremy's journey from combat leadership to personal collapse, and ultimately to clarity. Through painful self-reflection, accountability, faith, and community, Jeremy discovered that the wounds carried after service are not signs of weakness, they are invitations to heal. His story speaks to anyone who has ever lost their sense of purpose after a major life transition and wondered if hope was still possible. Guest Bio Jeremy Stalnecker is the CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families heal from the unseen wounds of trauma, including PTSD. Raised in San Jacinto, California, Jeremy pursued his lifelong goal of becoming a United States Marine, earning an active-duty commission in 1999 and serving as an infantry platoon commander with 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. In 2003, Jeremy deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where his unit breached the berm separating Kuwait and Iraq and helped secure Baghdad. Following his return from combat, Jeremy transitioned into full-time ministry, serving first as an Assistant Pastor at Coastline Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, and later as Senior Pastor of Bay Area Baptist Church in Fremont, California. In 2015, he joined Mighty Oaks full time, uniting his military experience and ministry calling to help others find healing, identity, and purpose after trauma. Jeremy and his wife Susanne are the parents of four children and remain deeply committed to serving those who are hurting.

Often times, God will mess up our plans to put us in contact with lost people in this world who need to hear about Him. When we live our lives in obedience to God, seeing His hand at work instead of the inconvenience of our changed plans, we will be amazed at how He will use us to reach the lost.

It's easy to thank God for how He's blessed us and go on about our lives without taking the time to look around and see how we can help others. As the Body of Christ, we are called to reach out and help all those in need that we come in contact with. We must have eyes to see the needs and willingness to follow through in meeting those needs.

When the mother of two of Jesus' disciples asks for them to be given roles of great importance and power in his kingdom, Jesus reveals a surprising truth: that those desiring greatest influence should seek the humblest position of a slave. As we see many times throughout the gospel of Matthew, Jesus upends the ordinary expectations of humanity by introducing an “upside down” kingdom. In his kingdom, the key to true greatness lies not in human power but in self-giving love.

Today’s Bible Verse: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” — 1 Peter 4:10 1 Peter 4:10 reminds us that our gifts were never meant to stay private. God has entrusted each believer with abilities, experiences, and strengths that reflect His grace. When we use them to serve others, we become channels of His kindness in practical ways.

Jesus will take care of you when you take care of others. That's why there were leftovers after Jesus fed the multitudes.

When we become Christians and God begins transforming our hearts, He compels us to love deeply, to have mercy and compassion on others, and to be moved to the point of action. We must submit to His prompts and be His hands and feet in the world, showing others that there truly is something different about us.

What does it look like to show up well for those walking through grief? When someone we know is walking through grief, we want to help by knowing what to say to ease their pain.  And yet, many of us feel awkward around grief and loss. We worry that we'll make things worse by saying the wrong thing. Often we don't know how to emotionally support others without trying to fix the situation or offer what can feel like empty platitudes.  Today I've invited my friend and fellow podcaster Sherrie Pilkington to share her grief journey after the sudden loss of her husband several years ago. As an advocate for those walking through grief, Sherrie offers practical, much-needed suggestions to best care for a loved one on a grief journey in order to show Christian compassion during this challenging time. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Grief Feels Confusing and Uncomfortable for Everyone [09:00] “Grief Doesn't Need Answers.

It's easy to feel sympathetic towards someone, but having compassion on them is a different story because that is what will actually cause us to get up and do something for them. Jesus was the perfect example in reaching out to meet others' needs and He instructs us to follow through in our knowledge and words by our actions.
