Referenced Scripture:
Mark 10:45, John 13:1-17, Luke 18:40-41, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

Reflection Questions:
1. What does serving someone communicate about them? What does it communicate about the one who serves? What makes a lifestyle of serving and focusing on the needs of others difficult? What keeps us from serving others?

2. Why is serving important to the mission of helping people come to know and follow Jesus?

3. Read John 13:1-17. What observations do you make about serving from this example of Jesus?

4. Why do you think Jesus chose to wash His disciples' feet the night before His crucifixion? How would you have felt if you had been there?

5. Why is it significant that God himself took on the task of the lowest slave?

6. Jesus modeled that he is willing to serve people that would betray him, deny him, and desert him. What does this teach us about who we are called to serve? Why can this be difficult? Do you think this is realistic?

7. Jesus served in proximity → those that he had personal contact with. Who are the people in your sphere of influence that you could intentionally serve? Why do you think it might be important to know HOW they need to be served? How can we learn what their real needs are?

8. Jesus served with the POWER of God. How can we access the power of God as we seek to love and serve people? How can praying for people be a tangible way to serve them? How can you know how to pray for people?

9. Jesus promises that we will be blessed if we follow his example. How have you been blessed by serving others? How have you been blessed by others serving you?

10. Who from your sphere of influence do you think God wants you to serve this week?
