Latest Sermon: Purpose in the Serving
Discussion Questions:
Pastor Chad shared how his own "yes" to serving on the light board eventually led him into his teaching gift. Think about your own story: was there a place you started serving that ended up shaping who you are today? What was it, and what did you learn from saying yes?
Before this weekend, when you heard the word "serve," what came to mind? Has your definition of serving mostly lived inside the walls of the church, or have you seen it show up in your job, your home, your relationships? What would change if you saw all of it as "Avad"?
The same task can be tending one day and toiling the next: helping your kids with homework, finishing a work project, showing up to serve on Sunday. Can you think of a specific place in your life right now where you feel like you're toiling instead of tending? What do you think is underneath that?
Servility says "I have to." Servanthood says "I get to." Be honest: where in your life right now are you serving out of obligation, pressure, or a need for approval rather than love? What would it look like to bring that specific area to God this week instead of just pushing through it?
Pastor Chad said, "Serving didn't just reveal my design, it revealed my heart." Is there a season or moment of burnout, resentment, or frustration in your own life that, looking back, might have actually been God trying to show you something about your heart rather than just something about your schedule? What do you think He was trying to show you, and are you willing to let this group into that story?
