Rick Kyle's sermon on "The Way of Selfless Servanthood" focuses on the importance of serving others, using Jesus washing the disciples' feet as an example of humble service. Serving others not only connects believers with God but also leads to true significance in life. The sermon emphasizes serving beyond loved ones and highlights the rewards in both earthly and heavenly realms for those who choose the path of selfless service. Ultimately, by giving to others and surrendering to God, believers can find fulfillment and blessings through serving with a humble heart.

This week focuses primarily on the Biblical ordinances of tithing and sacrificial giving, emphasizing that it's not merely a financial action but a spiritual discipline that cultivates courage, unselfishness, and sacrifice. Tithing is about giving 10% of income to the church, rooted in faithfulness and obedience to God. This week delves into biblical origins of tithing and sacrificial giving and emphasizing the importance of sacrificial giving in protecting one's heart and soul. Through tithing, individuals honor God's ownership, demonstrate faith, and experience blessings through faithful giving.

In the sermon "The Way of Warrior Disciples," we explore the concept of Ethos and its significance in the Christian faith. Ethos refers to the spirit, character, and customs of a community. The sermon highlights the transformation of Jesus' disciples from fearful and doubtful individuals to courageous and bold warrior disciples due to His resurrection. Through faith and discipleship, one can reshape their ethos, breaking away from pain and struggle, to find satisfaction and peace. The vehicle that Jesus used to wage war on the enemies of our hearts and the strongholds they create was money. Jesus warns against trying to serve both God and money and states that it's impossible to try serve both. He explains that where our treasure is, is where our hearts will be also. For Jesus, money wasn't a finance issue, it was a faith issue. Stewardship and generosity don't merely fund the church, but instead they are disciplines and training exercises that are directly tied to growing and strengthening our faith.

Ultimately, he encourages the audience to prioritize relationships and demonstrate selfless love, kindness, and generosity towards others.

Envy puts us in competition with everyone around us. Envy chokes the good in and the good for others while destroying the joy and the goodness in us. The way we kill envy is with Courageous Generosity.
