Jesus Was a Servant
Jesus came not to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45). Pride is the biggest obstacle to being a servant. Are we willing to kill our pride and serve?

Jesus is the loving Shepherd (Psalm 23) because 1) He Supplies Our Needs, 2) He Defends Us from Harm, 3) He Lays Down His Life. Each person should be able to state why.
The woman whose faith made her whole (Matthew 9:20-22): 1) Her Condition, 2) Her Cure, 3) Her Closure. Each person should understand a living, active faith.
Why do we need Christian apologetics (1 Peter 3:15)? It 1) Proclaims God, 2) Shows Reason Fails, 3) Combats Materialism, 4) Exposes Error. Each person should study it.
In Luke 14:15-24 we learn about God's 1) Invitation, 2) Expectations, 3) Anger, 4) Love. Each person should be emboldened to share God's invitation with others.
Examples of evangelism (Acts 8:4): 1) Noah in Obedience, 2) David in Faith, 3) Prophets in Courage, 4) Daniel in Prayer, and more. Each person should learn from them.
When sharing the gospel, say "come and see" (John 1:43-46): 1) The Works of God, 2) The Glory of God, 3) The Son of God. Each person will have something to say.
God's gift in Jesus (1 John 4:9-10) is 1) Jesus the Human, 2) Jesus the Sacrifice, 3) Jesus the King, 4) Jesus the Son. Each person should see God gave the best gift.
A thank you for our holiday dinner, Learning to Serve, and the love shown in our community. May your love abound more and more in knowledge (Philippians 1:9).
