Zach mentioned Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which reveals that the greatest need for fulfillment in this world is when our Transcendence Needs (helping other achieve their potential) are met. Do you agree?

Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

God’s Word reveals that our purpose is to serve God by serving others. Do you feel like you are fulfilling your God-given purpose for serving? Explain.

What are you naturally good at doing?

How can God be glorified through your talents, skills, or abilities?

Jesus said, “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles” (Matthew 5:41). Explain a time where you have gone the extra mile for someone. What did it mean to him or her? What did it do for you?

Who is someone you know, whether an individual or a group, that is living out their God- given purpose?

Spend some time as a group discussing a way you can serve your community together. Set a date and make a plan for serving together as a group. Make it fun and enjoy serving!

Rank yourself on a scale of 1-10 (where 1 is “very poor” and 10 is “excellent”) on how you are serving God right now. If comfortable, share that number with the group.

CLOSING THOUGHT & PRAYER:

If you could never speak another word aloud again, how would you preach the Gospel?—Mark Crossman

Pray for God to reveal purpose in the lives of your group and fill them with a spirit of service.
