Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for reflection:
1. How would the average person in our world define greatness? How does Jesus define greatness?
2. Why is serving others challenging? Why is serving others fulfilling?
Questions for discussion:
1. What do we learn about Jesus by looking at his determined march to Jerusalem?
2. What do the “cup” and “baptism” of v. 38 symbolize? What are the implications of these symbols for our lives as Jesus People?
3. How can we cultivate the selflessness and service essential to being followers of Jesus?
