"The Discipline of Service" - Sacred Rhythms Series Finale

Scripture: John 13:1-17

In the final message of our Sacred Rhythms series, we explore the discipline that completes our spiritual formation: service. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus shocked His disciples by washing their feet—the job of the lowest servant. This wasn't just a nice gesture but a radical redefinition of greatness.

This message explores four transformative truths: that Jesus redefined greatness through the radical act of foot washing, that service to others is actually service to Christ and deepens our relationship with God, that effective service requires identifying gifts and recognizing needs, and that servant leadership transforms both the server and the served.

Key Message: Service is not something we do after we become mature Christians—it's how we become mature Christians.

Discover how taking up the towel and basin can revolutionize your understanding of purpose, greatness, and spiritual growth. Learn practical steps for serving in your family, church, and community, and see how all the sacred rhythms—solitude, prayer, fasting, and service—work together to form us into Christlikeness.

Perfect for: Anyone seeking to understand their purpose as a Christian, believers wanting to move beyond consumer Christianity, or those looking to integrate spiritual disciplines into a life of practical love.

Series Conclusion: This final message brings together all five sacred rhythms, showing how they interconnect to transform us into mature followers of Christ.
