MORE THAN A HASHTAG 4.2

It's all connected

​For Jesus (and for us too) walking humbly, loving mercy, and doing justice are all connected.

Philippians 2:3-11
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. 5 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
 
6 who, though he was in the form of God,
    did not regard equality with God
    as something to be exploited,
7 but emptied himself,
    taking the form of a slave,
    being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
8     he humbled himself
    and became obedient to the point of death--
    even death on a cross.



Question of the Day:
Where haven’t you been humble when it comes to others? Do you have a story where you ignored the needs of others, especially those who are unwanted, or unloved?

Discussion Questions:
  • Have you ever had the opportunity to serve someone in Jesus' name? What was it like?
  • Have you ever encountered someone who needed help, but you didn't help them? What happened? What held you back?
  • If you could relive that moment, what would you do differently?
  • Who is someone in your life now who could be "Jesus in disguise?"
