Summer of Discipleship: The Greatest Enemy

Everyone loves the idea of service, but actually living it out in practice is hard. Jesus tells us that if we will dismiss our allegiance to "what's in it for me?" we can walk into the freedom to love and serve others generously. Discussion Questions: 1. When is a time in your life where you felt like someone truly loved you like Jesus? What happened? 2. Do you struggle with the whole "what's in it for me?" question getting in the way of being a servant toward others? 3. Read Matthew 16:20-27. Is there an area where you sense God might be asking you to lay down your life so that you can better serve him and others?
