The One Anothers | Pastor Lance Powers | August 2nd, 2026
Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that his hour had come to leave this world and return to his Father. He now showed the disciples the full extent of his love. It was time for supper, and the Devil had already enticed Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to carry out his plan to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God. So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him. When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, “Lord, why are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now why I am doing it; someday you will.” “No,” Peter protested, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus replied, “But if I don’t wash you, you won’t belong to me.” Simon Peter exclaimed, “Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!” Jesus replied, “A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet, to be entirely clean. And you are clean, but that isn’t true of everyone here.” For Jesus knew who would betray him. That is what he meant when he said, “Not all of you are clean.” After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was doing? You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because it is true. And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than the master. Nor are messengers more important than the one who sends them. You know these things—now do them! That is the path of blessing.
John 13:1-17
How is the One Another, Love, showing up in your life?
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:35
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Love is a gift.
Love learns you.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self – control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
Galatians 5:22-23
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Love requires personal Shalom (peace).

Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Recovering your Shalom:
1. Turn towards God
2. Tell Him what you need
3. Thank Him for all He has done for you in your life
4. Trust Him with your need
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Love was demonstrated for us to see.

John 13:4-5
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us…
John 1:14
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing (or emptied himself), by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Philippians 2:6
