08-17-25 Discipleship Principles

In this powerful exploration of discipleship, we delve into Jesus' final teachings before His betrayal, focusing on three key principles: serve one another, love one another, and trust Him. The passage from John 13 and 14 reveals Jesus' new command to love as He loved us - a sacrificial, unconditional love that becomes our distinguishing mark as His followers. We're challenged to move beyond mere religious observance to a transformative way of living that reflects Christ's example. This message invites us to reconsider our priorities, shifting from a self-centered pursuit of heaven to investing our lives for eternity through service and love. As we embrace this calling, we're encouraged to trust Jesus completely, knowing He understands our past, present, and future. This trust empowers us to live boldly for Him, even in the face of adversity.
