Do You Wash Feet?
Hey Friends,
I’m pretty sure we all know the story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet. He told us to go and to do the same. It is a clear call to serve others. Scripture says to “consider others as more important than yourself.” And, “The greatest among you shall be your servant.” There is no way around the call and command to serve! Don’t you agree? So, I ask my question again: do you still wash feet?
- Whom do your serve?
- How do you serve?
- What is your attitude when you serve?
- How do you react when you’re treated like a servant?
Jesus, the Son of God, stooped to serve without hesitation or regret. There are many ways to serve and we need to do them all.
This Thursday is a day for washing feet: LIT2010. It will be an amazing day of adding value and washing the feet of a few hundred Kingdom leaders. I am so excited. Please pray with me as we stoop and take up the basin and the towel. I pray it is the best day the attendees have ever had. You can help wash feet by:
1. praying for the attendees
2. praying for the speakers and servants
3. still getting the word out this week – we have a few spots open
4. praying for the Spirit of God to fall in power and accomplish what He knows needs to be done
5. starting to pray now for LIT2010charlotte on Sept. 30
6. praying for all those that will lead worship
7. praying for the staff and volunteers that are giving up a day to wash feet
Pray for me as I lead the day. As I wash feet I want to add value and help people to be able to reach their full potential in Jesus. We serve a God who can and does. I look forward to an amazing day full of miracles and value.
Please, pass me the towel.
Love ya,
Pastor Chris

For a long while, we had a modified Passover with my five children. It included foot washings. At every Passover we would invite two other families over to have Passover (foot washing where a part of it). It was a humble feeling and created a bond that is still strong with those families today! Our God is an awesome God!
I serve every hour of my life alone side of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
My attitude is Joy.
As a servent I’m happy to serve. When treated as a slave I’m not to be found. When treated unkindly I pray for those who do not know how God wants them to be towards me. Sometimes it’s very hard to have a attitude of Joy when in service. Service starts from the time my eyes open in the morning until I close my eyes at night. The last time I got to kneel and wash my sisters in
Christ feet was a year of so ago. Some of them let me others said no way. I feel closer to the ones who allowed me to kneel before them and pray while I washed their feet. It was a moving time. A stronger bond came to those sisters and I. Sadness as well has happen for those sister have now moved away and one has died. In the end I know that I will see them again.
You’ll have a rewarding and up lift when you serve on Thurs. Would like to be there. As of yet haven’t found anyone in the North End of Knoxville to be transportation to service. Pastor you have my number. Would someone care to see I attend Thurs.
