LORD JESUS! You’ve either said these sacred words yourself, or you’ve heard somebody else say them. But have you ever stopped to think: “Why DO you we call Him ‘Lord’ and then NOT DO what He tells us?” That’s Jesus’s question in Luke 6:46. It’s a legitimate question and it deserves a legitimate answer. This October at RiverTown, let’s finally answer our LORD’S question.[divider]

What Kind Of Master? – October 13th
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46
What Kind Of Servant? A BOND SERVANT Says! “It Serves Me To Serve My MASTER.”
John 13:12, 13 (Amplified Version) So when He had finished washing their feet and had put on His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call Me the Teacher (Master) and the Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is what I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought, it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it, to wash one another’s feet.
Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus.
