Serve One Another

Pastor Rich Romero delivers a powerful message on Christian servanthood, drawing from Jesus' example of washing the disciples' feet in John 13. He challenges the congregation to move beyond consumer Christianity to become contributors who actively serve others. The sermon emphasizes that serving God is inseparable from serving people, and that true spiritual maturity is demonstrated through humble service. Pastor Rich contrasts "dog theology" (understanding we exist for God) with "cat theology" (believing God exists for us), urging believers to recognize that their gifts, blessings, and influence are meant to bless others, not just themselves. He calls the church to "choose the towel" - putting down status and titles to pick up the servant's towel like Jesus did. The message culminates with an invitation to live the "wide open, spacious life" that comes from giving ourselves away in service, reminding listeners that blessing comes through doing what Jesus taught, not just knowing it.
