Small Group 2: Cross Shaped Love

1. Are there types of people you don't like (don't name names!)?

2. When you were in elementary school, did you have any enemies? Did you ever try to get back at them for things they did to you?

2a. (a question not on the paper that I asked my group when I was bombarded with stories about kids who were mean in elementary school) What if you showed up here this week and I told you that we were going to that person's house and serving by helping with his/her chore list? How would you feel about that?

READ Luke 14:12-14

3. According to this passage, what does it mean to serve?

4. Is there anything in this passage that motivates you to serve others? What is it and why does it motivate you?

5. Do you think God calls middle school students to serve others? Why or why not?

6. What kinds of service can you do in your community? Why is this service important?

Pray in your group.
