A Message From Rev. Steve Digby Our Visiting Minister Sunday, June 26.

"What King Jesus Wants"

John 13:1-20

It is a privilege to welcome Rev. Steve Digby to the pulpit for the second week in a row. On the June 26, Steve will preach on the text from the gospel of John, chapter 13, “Love One Another.”

Steve asks that we give some thought prior to Sunday to what it means to love one another.

While planning for his sabbatical perhaps the most important of tasks that Pastor Mitch organized was ensuring that outstanding ministers deliver sermons each week. The diversity of the ministers he selected and their depth of faith and love of the Lord is, and will continue through the summer, to be a blessing to each of us.

Reverend Digby

Steve is a retired ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He has served congregations in Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Most recently he served First Christian Church in Lockhart, prior to that, he served Memorial Drive Christian Church in Houston, and congregations in Victoria, Odessa, and Oak Cliff in Dallas.

He comes from a long line of Disciples, going back to the 1830’s when an ancestor was influenced by Alexander Campbell’s peaching and helped to start the second Stone Campbell Movement church in Georgia.

Rev. Digby and his wife Gwen have three grown children and two grandsons who all live nearby.

Social Justice Group Begins New Book on June 28

The social justice study book that meets on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m., via zoom will begin a new book on Tuesday, June 28.

This is their second book on race and racism for the group. Mr. Acho is a native of Dallas and the son of Nigerian immigrant parents. He is the host of the hit video series by the same name. Perhaps he is most familiar as a former NFL player and Fox sports analyst. He began his professional career with the Cleveland Browns and later played with the Philadelphia Eagles while earning a master’s degree in the off season at the University of Texas.

New participants are encouraged to join the group. The book is available on Amazon and local bookstores.

Scripture Reading

John 13:1-20 (New Revised Standard Version)

1 Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, 4 got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, ‘Lord, are you going to wash my feet?’ 7 Jesus answered, ‘You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.’ 8 Peter said to him, ‘You will never wash my feet.’ Jesus answered, ‘Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.’ 9 Simon Peter said to him, ‘Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!’ 10 Jesus said to him, ‘One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.’ 11 For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, ‘Not all of you are clean.’

12 After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, ‘Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. 16 Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. 18 I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfil the scripture, “The one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.” 19 I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am he. 20 Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.’
