The King Revealed in Service | Maundy Thursday Sermon

Have you ever considered that the King of Kings delights most not in reigning, but in serving? In this moving sermon, we are drawn into the upper room where Jesus humbly washes His disciples' feet, shattering pride and redefining greatness through selfless love. We see that unless Jesus stoops to cleanse us—our guilt, shame, and hidden filth—we have no part with Him. This powerful act points directly to the cross, where the ultimate cost of divine love is paid in His body and blood. Today, His call remains: receive His mercy freely and let His love transform how we serve others. Are you ready to be fully known—and fully loved?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Takeaways:

• Divine love is shown through humble service, not domination
• Jesus' act of washing feet reveals God’s true character.
• Salvation is entirely a gift—we cannot clean ourselves up for God.
• The Lord’s Supper connects us directly to Christ’s sacrifice and grace.
• Jesus delights in showing mercy when we honestly confess our brokenness.
• Christ's love flows from the altar into our lives and outward to others.
