What if true greatness looks nothing like the world says it does?

In the Gospel of John 13, Jesus does something shocking: He kneels down, takes a towel, and washes feet.

In this sermon, Pastor Jon Benzinger explains why serving others isn’t optional for Christians; it’s the path to humility, joy, and becoming more like Christ.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, exhausted, bitter, or stuck asking, “What about me?”
This message will challenge the way you think about love, pride, and greatness.

You’ll discover:
Why serving others is commanded, not suggested
How self-denial exposes pride in our hearts
Why Jesus connected service to true happiness
What it means to become a “person of the towel.”
