The Life Week 11 "Servant Of All"

SCRIPTURES FROM SUNDAY:  John 13

REFLECT/DISCUSS:

Q: Have you ever had a job where all the menial, grunt work fell to you? What did you have to do? What was that like?

Q: Do you like the fact that Jesus was unpredictable and at times confusing? Why/why not? Do you find the idea of a “humble God” appealing? Why/why not?

Q: What might lie behind Peter’s sporadic reaction when Jesus started to wash his feet?

Q: How does Jesus’ view and example of leadership compare to what our culture teaches us on the topic? Which are more attractive to you and why?

Q: Do you think Jesus was instituting foot washing as a literal practice for the church to continue in all times/cultures- or calling us to roll up our sleeves and serve each other however we might? Why?

Q: What does this story tell you about Jesus’ ability to love us despite our shortcomings?

FOR NEXT WEEK:  John 14-17
