The Towel Comes Before the Title

The Towel Comes Before the Title It's easy to assume that leadership begins when someone receives a title. We celebrate promotions, ordinations, and appointments because they mark an important moment. But in God's Kingdom, public recognition is almost never the beginning of the story. It's simply the moment everyone else catches up to what God has already been doing. When Jesus gathered with His disciples on the night before the cross, He did something no one expected. The One who deserved every honor took off His outer garment, wrapped a towel around His waist, and began washing dirty feet. The Creator became the servant. The King picked up a towel. That's the picture of biblical leadership. Jesus Redefined Greatness After washing His disciples' feet, Jesus said, "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you." (John 13:14–15) Jesus never taught that greatness comes through position. He taught that greatness comes through service. The towel always comes before the title. Later He would tell His disciples, "Whoever would be great among you must be your servant." (Mark 10:43) That is still God's definition of greatness today. Character Before Responsibility The qualifications for a deacon in 1 Timothy 3 focus far more on character than responsibilities. The Apostle Paul spends very little time describing what a deacon does and much more time describing who a deacon is. Why? Because ministry always flows from character. God is far more interested in shaping our hearts than handing us a position. Faithfulness, integrity, humility, and spiritual maturity are not qualities that suddenly appear when someone receives a title. They are cultivated over years of quietly walking with Jesus. Recognition of What God Has Already Done This past Sunday, our church had the joy of ordaining Michael Jay as a deacon at New Prospect Baptist Church. While the ordination was a meaningful milestone, it wasn't the day Michael became a servant. Long before anyone laid hands on him or presented him with a certificate, he was already living the life of a deacon. He had already been serving faithfully, caring for people, loving the church, and demonstrating the character that Scripture calls us to recognize. The ordination simply affirmed what God had already been producing in his life. That is how God's Kingdom works. God often develops us in hidden places before He ever places us in visible positions. David was a shepherd before he became a king. Elisha faithfully served Elijah before becoming a prophet. The disciples spent years following Jesus before they were sent to lead the early church. God prepares people in private before He entrusts them with greater responsibility in public. Every Believer Is Called to Pick Up the Towel This principle isn't just for pastors, elders, or deacons. Every follower of Jesus has been called to serve. You may never hold an official title within the church, but every act of kindness, every prayer offered, every meal delivered, every encouraging conversation, every unseen sacrifice, and every quiet act of obedience reflects the heart of Christ. Our culture asks, "How high can you climb?" Jesus asks, "Whose feet are you willing to wash?" The One who wore the crown first carried the towel. He showed us that the pathway to influence is humility, and the pathway to greatness is service. So don't wait for a title before you begin serving. Don't assume ministry starts when someone recognizes your gifts. Begin today. Love people well. Serve faithfully. Honor Christ in the ordinary moments. Because in God's Kingdom... The towel always comes before the title. Now It’s Your Turn Maybe you've been waiting for the "right time" to take your next step with Jesus. Maybe you've told yourself, When I know more... when life settles down... when I feel ready... But what if God isn't waiting for perfection? What if He's simply inviting you to pick up the towel? At New Prospect, we believe following Jesus is a journey, and every journey begins with one faithful step. Whether you need to Encounter Jesus for the very first time, Overcome Together by finding healing and authentic community, Grow Deeper through discipleship and God's Word, or Serve Others by using your gifts to make an eternal difference, your next step matters. Don't wait for a title before you begin living out your calling. God does some of His greatest work in ordinary people who simply say, "Yes, Lord." The towel comes before the title. Faithfulness comes before recognition. And your next step could be the beginning of everything God wants to do in and through your life. So... what's your next step? We'd love to walk that journey with you.

The WAY

Jesus Said, Follow Me! Following Jesus is one of the simplest invitations in all the scriptures! Yet it is also the call with the heaviest implications of all time. How you respond to Jesus’s call determines the trajectory of the rest of your life on this side of eternity, and it also determines where you will spend eternity. Jesus did not desire admirers or hope for fans. He did not seek after faithful church attenders or beg people to give money. He invited people to come and see what he was up to, come and follow him, come and be with him, and to stay with him. He invited people to become his followers... his disciples (not his fans or admirers). Throughout the gospels, Jesus said, “Follow Me,” roughly 20 times. Those two simple words changed the world as people began following Jesus and becoming disciples who would make more disciples of Jesus. There were thousands of people who heard, believed, and followed Jesus while he was in the midst of his earthly ministry. In the upper room, on the day of Pentecost and when the Holy Spirit came and filled those who were gathered, there were only 120 left. But that day, 3,000 people were radically saved through the hearing of the Gospel, and by the year 350 AD, roughly 35 million people (of an estimated global population of 220 million) considered themselves followers of Jesus. Jesus is the WAY! Near the end of His earthly ministry, Jesus made one of the most remarkable statements in all of Scripture. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) Notice He didn't merely say He would show us the way. He said He IS the Way. Jesus isn't simply pointing us toward God. He is inviting us to walk with Him into a relationship with the Father. That's why the earliest followers of Jesus weren't first called Christians. In the book of Acts, they were known as followers of The Way. What a beautiful picture. Following Jesus isn't a destination. It's a lifelong journey. A Journey Worth Taking... At New Prospect, we've been asking one question for years: "What's your next step?" Eventually we realized something. Many people genuinely wanted to follow Jesus... they simply weren't sure what their next step was. So we began praying. Studying. Talking together. Looking for a simple, biblical way to describe what it means to follow Jesus throughout a lifetime. Out of that came The WAY. Not a program. Not another class. Simply a common language that helps all of us understand where we are in our walk with Christ and where He may be leading us next. The WAY Following Jesus is a lifelong journey, and we believe every disciple continually grows in four ways. Encounter Jesus Every journey begins by encountering Jesus. This is where we surrender our lives to Christ, trust Him as Savior and Lord, and begin learning to follow Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit and according to the will of the Father. So often, this begins with an awakening to our need for a Savior, which leads to salvation, baptism, and becoming part of a local church family. Overcome Together God never intended for us to follow Jesus alone. We all face struggles, battle sin, and have strongholds that need to be broken. We all carry burdens. That's why authentic Christian community matters so much. We were made to Live in Community! Healing often begins when we stop pretending we're okay and allow trusted brothers and sisters in Christ to walk beside us. Grow Deeper Healthy things grow. As we spend time in God's Word, discover our spiritual gifts, and allow mature believers to encourage and equip us, we become more like Jesus. Growth isn't about knowing more information. It's about becoming more like Christ. Serve Others Jesus didn't save us simply to sit in a pew and enjoy the rest of our lives, fat and happy. He calls us to serve just as he first served us. Every believer has unique gifts and opportunities to make a difference. Everyone of us is called to serve the church in one way or another. At New Prospect, you have a great opportunity to serve on Ministry Teams. Some teams serve “inside” the church, while others serve our neighbors, support missions, or reach out to the “least of these.” No matter where or how you serve, we are all called to share our faith with others and make a difference in our world. May we live Life on Mission on purpose for Jesus! Begin Your Journey on The WAY No matter where you are today... Whether you're just beginning to ask questions about Jesus, returning after years away, or even if you've followed Jesus for decades... There's always another step to take. We'd love to walk alongside you, because following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. So... let us ask you the same question we've been asking our church family for years: What's your next step? We'd love to help you discover it. Welcome to The WAY.Subscribe To These Posts

Men's Ministry Update

Brothers in Christ. Men on Mission! Our Men's Ministry exists to help men become more like Jesus by building authentic friendships, growing in God's Word, and serving others together. Once a month we gather at Michael Jay's home to share a meal, encourage one another, spend time in Scripture, and challenge each other to become the men God has called us to be. Every gathering is an opportunity to laugh together, pray together, and take another step on The WAY. We believe men grow best when they have brothers walking beside them—not only around a table, but shoulder to shoulder in service. That's why our ministry isn't just about meeting together; it's about living on mission together. Whether we're serving our church, helping a family in need, or simply encouraging one another through life's challenges, our desire is to Encounter Jesus, Overcome Together, Grow Deeper, and Serve Others. No matter where you are in your journey, there's a place for you at the table. 🔨 Living on Mission One of the ways our men are putting their faith into action is by helping renovate a mobile home that will become a new beginning for a local family who lost their home in a fire. This project is more than construction—it's an opportunity to share the love of Christ in practical ways. As we prepare the property, move the home, and complete the renovations, we're reminded that following Jesus means loving our neighbors with both our words and our hands. If you'd like to join us on an upcoming workday, we'd love to have you. Whether you're experienced with construction or simply willing to lend a hand, there's a place for you to serve. Volunteer need: We're looking for men who will help with the sound system on a rotating basis. Also, anyone willing to help re-home a family in the name of Jesus, please contact Michael Jay or Pastor Topher.Sign Up Here 📅 Men's Ministry – Our men gather once each month for food, fellowship, encouragement, and God's Word. We also schedule service projects throughout the year as opportunities arise. Check back here or follow our social media and calendar for details about our next Men's Gathering or workday. Upcoming: Men’s Gathering at Michael Jay’s on July 25th.

Prayer

A Word About Prayer Prayer is one of the greatest privileges we have as followers of Jesus. Through prayer we draw near to God, encourage one another, and experience His presence in every season of life. At New Prospect, prayer isn't our last resort—it's our first response. In everything we do—celebrating God's faithfulness, walking through difficult circumstances, or seeking His direction—we believe He invites us to bring everything before Him. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." – Philippians 4:6 How Can We Pray With You? Life wasn't meant to be lived alone. Whether you're facing illness, grief, uncertainty, a difficult decision, or simply need someone to stand with you in prayer, we'd be honored to pray with you. How to Receive Prayer Every request we receive is treated with care and confidentiality. You can receive prayer in our community both in-person and online. In-Person – We believe no one should have to leave carrying a burden alone. At the conclusion of every Sunday service, members of our Prayer Team are available near the front of the worship center to pray with anyone who desires prayer. Online – we can still stay connected when we’re apart. Submit a prayer request here online at anytime. A real pastor is on the other end of the line.Share Your Prayer Request

Devotional

Weekly Devotional – March 19, 2026 "Words For The Valley: A Journey Through Psalm 23" Before You Begin Find a quiet place if you can. Put your phone face down. Take three slow breaths. This devotional is not meant to be rushed – it's meant to be inhabited. Read it the way you'd walk a familiar path you haven't taken in a while: slowly, noticing what's changed in you since the last time you were here. Psalm 23 is probably the most recognized passage in all of Scripture. Most of us have heard it at funerals. Many of us learned it as children. And precisely because it is so familiar, it can slide past us without landing. Our goal this week is to read it slowly enough that it surprises us again. Read the Psalm Aloud The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. A Word to Open David wrote this psalm. The same David who killed a giant, committed adultery, ordered a man's death, and wept so hard over his son that the Bible says the ground was wet. David was not a man who wrote about God from a comfortable distance. He wrote from inside the mess of a full human life. That matters for how we read this. Psalm 23 is not a greeting card. It is a battle-tested testimony from a man who had learned - slowly, painfully, joyfully - that God could be trusted. Every line is earned. Moving Through the Psalm "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Notice that David doesn’t say "The Lord is a shepherd" or "The Lord is the shepherd." He says my shepherd. This is personal. This is a claim. Sheep don't belong to shepherds in the abstract, they belong to a specific one who knows their name, knows their tendencies, knows which ones wander. Pause and ask yourself: Do I relate to God as my shepherd, or as a shepherd in general – present for everyone but perhaps not particularly attentive to me? The promise that follows - I shall not want - is not a promise of abundance in the way we sometimes read it. It is a promise of sufficiency. The sheep under a good shepherd's care lack nothing they truly need. Not nothing they want. Nothing they need. That is a different and deeper promise. "He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters." A shepherd has to make sheep lie down. Sheep are anxious animals. They will graze past the point of exhaustion if not guided to rest. The green pastures and still waters are not accidental. They are chosen by someone who knows that rest is not weakness. Rest is part of the plan. How often do we resist the places God leads us to rest? How often do we mistake stillness for inactivity, or quietness for being left behind? Spend a moment in this image. Where are your green pastures right now? Where is God trying to lead you to still water, and are you following, or are you still grazing? "He restores my soul." The Hebrew word here - nephesh - is sometimes translated as soul, but it means something closer to the whole self. Your inner life. Your sense of self. Your aliveness. He restores my aliveness. This is a pastoral word for exhausted people. And if you are here in this prayer group on a Thursday morning, there is a reasonable chance that life has taken something from you recently. Grief, disappointment, overwork, worry, loss. The promise of this line is not that God will prevent the depletion. It is that he is in the business of restoration. He gives back what life takes. Pray this line over yourself today: Lord, restore my soul. Say it slowly. Say it more than once. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." This is the hinge of the psalm. Everything before it is pastoral and gentle. Here, the landscape changes. The valley is real. The shadow is real. David does not pretend it isn't. But notice the grammar: I will fear no evil. Not I do not feel afraid. Not the valley isn't dark. The commitment to not fear is an act of the will, grounded not in circumstances but in presence. For you are with me. That's the whole reason. Not because the valley is safe. Because he is there. This is the verse for whoever in our prayer group is in a hard place right now. You don't have to pretend the valley isn't dark. You only have to remember you are not walking through it alone. "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." This image has always struck me as almost defiant. God does not remove the enemies before sitting David down to eat. He sets the table anyway. In the middle of opposition, in the middle of threat, there is a feast. There is provision and dignity that the enemies cannot touch. Whatever is pressing in on you right now - fear, opposition, uncertainty, a relationship that's causing pain - God is not waiting for it to resolve before he feeds you. The table is already set. What would it look like to receive God's provision today, even in the middle of what's hard? "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." The word translated follow here is closer in the Hebrew to pursue – even chase. Goodness and mercy are not timidly trailing behind us. They are in pursuit. All the days of my life. Not just the good ones. Not just the ones where I feel worthy of being followed. This is grace at its most relentless. We do not have to earn God's goodness chasing us down. We only have to stop running from it. Closing Prayer Father, you are our shepherd. We confess that we often act like sheep who think they know better – wandering past the green pastures, resisting the still water, grazing until we are empty. Restore our souls today. Lead us through whatever valley we are walking through and remind us that your presence is the point, not the absence of the valley itself. Set a table for us in the middle of our hard places. And let us feel, even today, the goodness and mercy that is chasing us down. We are yours. Amen. For Further Reflection This Week Read Psalm 23 once each morning this week – slowly, one verse at a time. Journal on this question: Which line of this psalm do I need most right now, and why? Pray the psalm over someone in your life who is in a dark valley, and speak their name into each verse. Our Thursday Morning Prayer Group meets weekly at 7:00 AM in The Prayer Room, Building B. All are welcome.Share Your Prayer Request

Women's Ministry Update

Life is Better Together! At New Prospect, our Women's Ministry is a place where women of every age and stage of life can build authentic friendships, grow in their relationship with Jesus, and encourage one another through every season of life. Whether we're gathering for a Ladies' Night, opening God's Word together, sharing a meal, or simply laughing around a table, our desire is to create a place where women are known, loved, and encouraged. We believe following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. As part of The WAY, we want every woman to continue taking her next step by Encountering Jesus, Overcoming Together, Growing Deeper, and Serving Others. No matter where you are in your faith journey, there's a place for you here.Sign Up Here 🌸 Ladies' Night: Our monthly Ladies' Night is the heartbeat of our Women's Ministry. Each gathering is a little different. Some months we enjoy dinner together, some months we dive into a Bible study, and other months we simply spend time laughing, encouraging one another, and building friendships. Our hope is simple: To create a welcoming place where women can belong before they believe they have it all together, grow in their faith, and walk through life with one another. Bring a friend, your daughter, your mom, your sister—or come by yourself. We think you'll leave with new friends and a deeper love for Jesus. Volunteer need: God has uniquely gifted each of us to serve. If you have a heart for children, we'd love to help you use those gifts in our Nursery or Children's Church on Sunday mornings. It’s a small investment that can make an eternal difference. Upcoming: We're gathering for Ladies' Night on July 18 at 5:30 PM! Join us for an evening of food, fellowship, laughter, and encouragement as we continue growing together in Christ.

Pastoral Letter

I met God the other night while I was washing my car. I made the mistake of buying a black car. In fact, we have two black cars. It’s not an objective mistake in the sense that black cars are worse than any other colour car by any meaningful metric. The nature of black paint, however, is that it almost never looks clean. Any spot of water, dirt, or pollen (of which there has been plenty lately) seems to be accentuated on a black canvas, and frankly, is a glaring sore to my eye. That’s just me, that’s how I’m wired. You likely don’t care too much if your car is spotless or not and that’s good for you - sincerely, it’s good for you. I’m wired differently though, but thankfully I’m also inclined to enjoy washing my car by hand. So I took a look at the forecast to see how long my labour would be worth, and with nothing but clear skies in sight I set out to wash the car. Our kids were asleep, the evening was clear and cool, it was serene. With supplies in hand I made my move towards the driveway and there was God, waiting to met me. There’s a monkish way of moving through the world called liber mundi - “the world as a book”. It’s a way of living that moves slowly through the created cosmos, with eyes and ears open and attentive to see a story revealed through creation, as if it were a book to read. For us Christians, we believe that the world is the Lord’s, and it is a very reflection of his image. A revelation of sorts. God met me in the driveway in the stillness of being dedicated to one singular task, outside of the office and the home, and in the quiet of the evening. Without any external output or stimulus (and even without my AirPods in my ears plugging up my senses from the world around me), I was able to perceive and receive the peace of God while kneeling in soapy water on the tarmac. I’m not great at this way of living, and I wouldn’t even go as far as suggest that I’m good at it - but I’m trying. I’m trying to see glory in potato flowers and dandelions. I’m hoping to move on my feet and my pedals more often than I do on rubber powered by cylinders. I’m attempting to listen to less information (podcasts, sermons, etc.) and listen more to friends, family, and foes. I’m learning that the world is a book. I want to read it. Grace and peace, Pastor Johnny

As the people of God returned from exile, God kept His promises, stirred their hearts, and called them to rebuild—but before they rebuilt the Temple, they rebuilt the altar. In this opening message from Ezra, we discover that true rebuilding begins with worship, obedience, and a willingness to respond when God begins stirring our hearts.Subscribe To Our Podcast Community Prayer We carry each other through the spiritual practice of prayer. Here's what our community is lifting up this week: 🙏 NPBC – We are praying for our church, all our members, those who have recently come to faith and have been baptized - may God bless and be with each and every one. 🙏 Our Community – For the families still in need of knowing Jesus.
