Life is full of good things, but even good things can slowly crowd out the time and attention our marriages need. Without intentional investment, it's easy to drift into routine and complacency rather than growing closer together.
Your marriage is worth investing in! If you've been curious about Grace Marriage but haven't taken the next step, this is the perfect opportunity. Our final session of the year is November 7, and it's completely FREE—with no cost and no ongoing commitment. Come discover how a little intentionality can make a lasting difference in your marriage!New here? We'd love to help you connect. This Week's Message "The Heart of A Servant"
Steven Widger | John 13:1-20 What does it truly mean to serve, and are we willing to receive the love and grace Jesus offers?
In John 13, we witness one of the most powerful examples of humility in Scripture. Knowing that the cross was drawing near, Jesus knelt before His disciples and washed their feet, taking on the role of the lowest servant. But this moment was about so much more than an act of service. It was a picture of the sacrificial love He was about to demonstrate on the cross.
Peter's response reveals something we can all relate to. We often want to follow Jesus, but we also want to remain in control. We want His grace, but sometimes struggle to receive it on His terms rather than our own.
This passage reminds us that following Jesus begins with humbly receiving what only He can give. His love isn't something we earn or control. It's something we are invited to receive with open hearts and surrendered lives.
As we continue through the Gospel of John, we're reminded that Jesus didn't simply teach us what love looks like. He demonstrated it through humility, service, and ultimately, His sacrifice on the cross.
