Using the story of Judas at the Last Supper in Matthew 26, Pastor Hunter argues that Judas did not begin with evil intentions but rather followed a version of Jesus he had constructed — one who would bring political victory and personal success. When Jesus turned out to be a servant-savior who sacrifices Himself for enemies rather than destroying them, Judas walked away. The same danger exists for us today: we can fashion Jesus in our own image, expecting Him to bless our agendas and share our hatreds, and when He doesn't comply we betray Him with our lives. The call is to lay down those false expectations and follow the real Jesus — the one who came to serve and to sacrifice.
Pastor Mark Collins · Mar 11, 2019
In the final hours before His crucifixion, Jesus demonstrated the heart of His kingdom through radical servant leadership — washing the feet of His disciples, including His betrayer, and speaking hard truth to an overconfident Peter. The sermon draws from John 13 to show that genuine discipleship is not measured by boldness or self-confidence, but by a willingness to serve the least, receive correction with humility, and depend wholly on Jesus as the Good Shepherd who relentlessly pursues His sheep.
