Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel on serving others? In a powerful message about true leadership, Lead Pastor Matt Merold shares how Jesus chose the towel over the title, modeling servant leadership by washing His disciples' feet. Through the story of Debbie Hill's 25-year commitment to children's ministry despite personal tragedy, we see how security in Christ frees us to serve joyfully rather than dutifully. This transformative message reveals that serving isn't optional for believers—it's our identity. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or considering serving for the first time, discover how picking up the towel like Jesus leads to profound blessing and purpose. Don't miss this inspiring call to follow the ultimate servant leader!
