A Call to Mentorship | First Sermon of 'Lean on Me' Series

This message kicks off the new sermon series Lean On Me, Sermons on Mentorship. As a church, we face challenges and moments of need—but God calls us to care for one another. Together, we can carry each other’s burdens, link arms, and support one another in our journey to follow Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Nick Seders unpacks the biblical example of mentorship found in Exodus 18, where Jethro takes the initiative to support Moses. Discover how we can follow Jethro’s example to encourage and uplift those around us. We are not meant to walk this life alone.
