From the Leaders Guide:
Jesus led by serving.
I don’t know if we can say that Jesus’ gifting was to serve, after all, He was God. He didn’t have to serve anyone. Neither do we. We don’t have to serve others. But Jesus did. And He said that if we want to be first, we’ll need to be last. He said that loving others, serving them, was serving Him–loving Him.
“The greatest among you shall be your servant.” ~Matthew 23:11
Brooke also added some ideas on how to serve as a family:
Try finding ways to serve with your family. Take meals to families in your church who need help, participate in a Walk for Life for your local Pregnancy Center so they can meet the needs of women in unplanned pregnancies, or help serve soup to those less fortunate than you in a local Soup Kitchen. Find ways to teach your sons the value of serving others.
Prayer for the day: May my son not use his freedom to satisfy his sinful nature. Instead, may he use his freedom to serve others in love (Galatians 5:13).
