Intro Info
(Don't forget to click "Save Event" at the top of this page to have this for future reference).

• Announcements: announcements may be found at the bottom of Sunday's YouVersion Point Notes (do not need to review during group)

• God Moments: how have you seen God working, either in your life or in the life of another, over the past week? Did God answer any prayer requests that you had shared last time?

• Meditation Verse: last week, we discussed Mark 16:15. How has this verse affected your life this week?

Focus Verse - John 13:14. Have each person draw a picture that illustrates this verse, using stick figures for people.

** Icebreaker - share the grossest foot story for you or "someone you know." **

** What is something that was easier for you to learn by seeing an example, rather than just being told how to do it? **

Sean discussed that Jesus "created the standard" by the way he served his disciples through washing their feet.

Now is the Time - no excuses

1. What do you need to change in your thinking or actions to be more willing or available to serve?

2. Where or how do you feel that God may be calling you to serve in a new way (MC3 body, community, or world)?

Here is the Action - no exclusions

3. Would you be able to serve someone that you knew was going to "stab you in the back" afterwards (think Jesus serving Judas)?

4. Do you have difficulty wanting to serve people who don't appreciate what you are doing for them (i.e., your time, effort or money)?

This is the Standard - no exception

5. We learned that Lord means master. How does this definition change your view of our Master's command to serve?

** 6. Share a time when you saw God move in your life or in a situation because you chose to serve. **

Prayer 4U
Briefly share one item that you need prayer for this week. Each group member will then spend the week praying for the person on their immediate right.

Guided Prayer (leader, include the following in your prayer time)

"God - remove anything in us that may be standing in the way of us serving our MC3 family, our community and our world. Give us a heart of compassion for everyone around us, including those who we find difficult to love. Help us to truly understand that you haven't suggested that we serve - you have commanded it. Amen."
