Community Group Study Notes
- What’s been going well this week? What’s been hard? What’s God been teaching you?
- Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting points from Philippians 2 and the main idea of the message.
- Study the passage:
- Read Philippians 2:1-4. What does this passage teach us about the heart behind Christian service?
- Read Philippians 2:5-11. What stands out to you most about Christ’s humility? Why is humility so central to genuine service?
- Can you think of someone who regularly serves in quiet, unseen ways? What do you admire about them? What’s a simple, behind-the-scenes way someone has served you that made a big impact?
- In what ways do we sometimes overlook or undervalue “ordinary” forms of service in the church?
- How might our view of service change if we saw it more as an overflow of love than a specific role?
- What does “ordinary service” look like in your current season of life?
- Is there a specific opportunity to serve someone this week - quietly, lovingly, and without recognition?
- How can we as a community group practice humble service together (to each other or someone else) this month?
Action Step
If you haven’t yet, register for Eight Days of Hope Buffalo. We’ll be partnering with Eight Days of Hope to serve the Niagara District in Buffalo from July 19 - July 26. There are plenty of opportunities for “ordinary service” for everyone in your family!
If you’re unable to serve, commit to praying for all those that will be serving, and those impacted by this mission.
