Welcome to Wellspring Church!

On this Maundy Thursday, Max Melchert invites us into the sacred tension of the upper room—a night marked by humility, love, and the beginning of Jesus’ journey to the cross. As Jesus gathers with his disciples, he redefines what power looks like, not through control or status, but through self-giving love.

In washing his disciples’ feet, Jesus doesn’t just model servant leadership—he reveals the very heart of God. The King kneels. The Teacher serves. And in doing so, he calls his followers into a new way of life shaped by humility, surrender, and love for one another.

📖 Key Themes in This Message:

🔹 Jesus redefines greatness through humility and service

🔹 The significance of foot washing as both symbol and calling

🔹 Love as the defining mark of Jesus’ followers

🔹 The invitation to receive Jesus’ love before we attempt to give it

Maundy Thursday reminds us that before the cross, there is a table—and at that table, Jesus offers himself fully. We are not only called to remember this love, but to embody it, laying down our pride and taking up the posture of a servant.

Relevant Scripture references: John 13:1-17, John 13:34-35, Luke 22:19-20, Philippians 2:3-8.
