Win (10 minutes)

Who in your life needs to hear that there is a Good Shepherd who loves them and calls them by name, and what step will you take this week to share that hope with them?

Word (30 minutes)

  1. Read Mark 10:45 - How does Jesus' example of servant leadership challenge our cultural understanding of power and success?
  2. How does understanding Jesus as both King and Servant change the way we approach our own faith and service?
  3. Read Matthew 28:18-20 - Kavoos emphasized that Jesus said "I will build my church" but told us to "go make disciples." What's the difference between these two responsibilities?
  4. Kavoos shared how his father became a Christian and then led others to Christ in his workplace. Who in your sphere of influence (work, neighborhood, gym, etc.) might God be calling you to engage with?
  5. Who discipled you? Who invested in your faith journey?  Who are you currently discipling or investing in spiritually?
