Unexpected JesusSample

Personal Reflection
- When have you felt overlooked or insignificant? How does it impact you to know that Jesus values and welcomes those the world often ignores?
- Who are the “low-status” people in your own life—those you might be tempted to dismiss or avoid?
- How do you personally define greatness? How does Jesus’ definition of greatness challenge your perspective?
Scripture Engagement
- In Mark 9:33–37, why do you think the disciples were arguing about who was the greatest? How does Jesus’ response contrast with their expectations?
- What does it mean to “welcome a little child” in today’s context? How can we live that out?
- In Matthew 25:40, Jesus says that serving “the least of these” is equivalent to serving Him. What does this reveal about God’s priorities?
About this Plan

Jesus didn’t show up the way people expected. He touched outcasts, embraced the lonely, and led with kindness instead of power. In this 3-week (5-day week) journey, discover the surprising ways Jesus meets us in our struggles—and how His love can transform the parts of us we hide. If you've ever felt unseen or uncertain about your place in faith, this is for you.
