God can call us to do many unique and amazing things, but every one of us is called to serve. In this episode, we share a sermon Alex preached at Cornerstone Church about Jesus’ instruction to wash people’s feet. Reading from John 13, Alex warns against the Enemy’s attempts to stop us from serving the people around us. He also reminds us that sometimes service feels uncomfortable or messy, but that shouldn’t stop us from loving the people God places in front of us.

• Who are you called to be? What are you called to do? Where are you called to go?
• We are called to be many things, but we’re also called to wash feet. 
• We don’t serve to win God’s love; we serve because we are loved. 
• The Enemy will try to steal you from service.
• If Jesus can wash Judas’ feet, then we can serve without expecting perfect outcomes.
• When you know whose you are, you can serve even when it’s messy or awkward.
• We’re called to serve because it’s what Jesus did for us.

• What’s one skill you’re learning right now? 
• There’s a difference between just doing something and intentionally focusing on skill building. 
• Your language reflects your belief: Wishes and wants are not the same! 
• Information: How can too much or too little information impede skill building? 
• You must be willing to be bad at things in the pursuit of getting better. 
• Representation: Why does demonstration beat explanation? 
• Action: How can you effectively move from learning about a skill to doing the skill?
• Feedback: Why is the ability to teach an important part of skill building?
