What does it really mean to be great? Guest speaker Ps Mark Ansell challenges us to rethink our culture of self-promotion and discover the counter-cultural way of Jesus, choosing to serve others with humility, kindness and a willingness to see the needs around us.
Discussion Questions:
-
Think of someone who consistently shows kindness and serves others without seeking recognition. What can you learn from their example?
-
Read John 13:4–5, 12–15. Jesus, the Son of God, chose to wash His disciples’ feet. What does this teach us about greatness in God’s Kingdom, and how can we follow His example in our everyday lives?
-
Ps Mark challenged us to have “soft eyes” looking beyond what we first see to recognise needs and opportunities to serve. Where might God be prompting you to notice someone or something within the Discover Church community, your family, workplace or other areas of life, and respond with kindness and a “Self-Less” attitude?
-
What can make serving others difficult, especially when it goes unnoticed or feels inconvenient? How can we develop an attitude that reflects Jesus rather than seeking recognition or putting ourselves first?
