Small Group Guide: 
Serve One Another | One Another | Part 3

Opening Prayer

Sermon Overview:
This week's message focused on the biblical command to "serve one another" from Galatians 5:13-14. We explored how serving is not just a task but an expression of love and an opportunity to live like Jesus, deepen relationships, discover spiritual gifts, and connect to God's greater purpose.

Key Takeaways:
1. Serving is living like Jesus - We're called to follow Christ's example of humble service
2. Serving deepens relationships - Nothing connects people faster than serving together for a common mission
3. Serving reveals our gifts - We discover and develop our spiritual gifts through active service, not before
4. Serving connects us to God's greater purpose - Even small acts of service can have eternal impact

Discussion Questions:
1. Why do you think God included 59 "one another" statements in the New Testament? What does this tell us about His priorities for the church?

2. What does it mean practically that "we're never more like Jesus than when we are serving other people"?

3. Why did Jesus choose such a humble act as washing feet to demonstrate servanthood?

4. What are the modern-day equivalents of "foot washing" in our context? What makes these acts meaningful?

5. What would it look like for you to have a "you first" attitude rather than a "me first" attitude in your daily life?

6. Have you discovered your spiritual gift(s)? If so, how are you currently using them to serve others?

7. How did the story of the usher at Billy Graham's salvation service impact you?

Practical Applications:
Choose at least one of the following to do this week:

Discover: If you're not currently serving, sign up for a servanthood team this week (use the church app or website)
Deepen: If you're already serving, invite someone to serve alongside you
Daily Service: Look for one opportunity each day this week to serve someone in your household, workplace, or community
Pray: Ask God to reveal your spiritual gifts and how He wants you to use them

Closing Thought:
"It is not just about making coffee. It's not just about running sound. It's not just about shaking hands. It's not just about the part that we play. It's about what we are a part of. We are a part of God's church."

Remember: God doesn't need your service, but He invites you to serve so you don't miss out on the opportunity to grow, connect, and be part of His eternal purpose.
