In this sermon podcast, Pastor Eric continues the Village Church's series on the Gospel of John. This time, he preaches on John 13, boldly asserting that "image is everything." He explains that the image we believe we have, often built upon a carefully curated narrative, limits our options and preconceives our choices.
In John 13, Jesus dismantles the disciples' understanding of what it means to lead by washing their feet and calling them to love one another, all while they argue over who is the greatest and Judas plans to betray him. Pastor Eric emphasizes that Jesus redefines leadership, not through dominance but through humility and sacrificial love. He challenges us to reject our carefully crafted personas and follow Christ's example of genuine, selfless service. In this powerful message, we're called to abandon the pursuit of image and embrace the radical call to love and serve others.
The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
