What does it actually look like to become more like Jesus? Jesus didn’t build His life around being served. He chose to serve. In Mark 10, Jesus tells His followers that true greatness looks completely different from the way the world defines it: “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”
In this message, River Harter looks at the radical service of Jesus and what it means for us to follow His example. We may not be able to help everyone, but we can love someone. As we follow Jesus, we can begin asking: What is the Father doing? Where is the Father doing it? Who has the Father given me to love? Jesus invites us to see enough to notice, notice enough to care, and care enough to move.
Scripture: John 13:1–17, Mark 10:35–45, Galatians 5:13

How Jesus Handled Anger
Jesus was gentle, patient, and slow to anger—but He wasn’t a pushover. He confronted hard hearts, defended vulnerable people, and even became angry when people stood in the way of what God was doing.
So what’s the difference between sinful anger and righteous anger? In this message from our Becoming Like Jesus series, we look at how Jesus handled disrespect, frustration, and anger without allowing it to control Him.
We’ll explore James 1:19–20, Mark 3, Mark 6, and other passages to see what causes anger, how it should be handled, and what our anger is actually producing. Jesus was hard to offend personally, quick to protect others, willing to confront what was wrong, and unwilling to hate. What has been making you angry lately? Are you controlling your anger—or is your anger controlling you?

Jesus Was Full of Grace AND Truth
Was Jesus all grace, accepting everyone exactly where they were? Or was He all truth, confronting people about sin and calling them to change?
When we look at Jesus, we find something better than either extreme. John describes Him as “full of grace and truth.”
Jesus received people who had failed, moved toward the broken, and offered forgiveness—but He also loved people enough to tell them the truth and call them toward something better.
In this message, we look at how Jesus interacted with people and what His example means for us. If we want to become more like Jesus, we have to learn to see individuals instead of issues, meet people where they are, love them with truth, and become people others can trust.
“You have sinned. You are loved. You can change.”
