Talking Points:
  • Be Like Jesus: We are called to live like Jesus did. And based on John 13:3-5, Jesus lived His life to serve.
  • Just Say Yes: Serving involves prioritizing others’ needs over your own. Make a practice of saying “yes” to opportunities for service to make it a habitual part of life.
  • Start Small: To serve others effectively, you don’t need to wait for their requests; instead, actively seek opportunities for small acts of kindness and encouragement in your daily life, following Jesus’ example of proactive service.
  • Seek it out: To effectively serve others, don’t wait for obvious signs of their needs; instead, proactively approach people you know and ask how you can help.
