Chosen Part 2 - Next Steps

Message Summary

This week we got to see children choose us. What an amazing experience! It is incredible to be a part of a church family that takes being the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need seriously. We had 130 kids choose individuals and families at Freshwater. When we do what we can to meet the needs of others, we are loving tangibly. This week we are remembering the importance of how we love others when we serve them.

• What are ways that others have served you in the past? What impact did they have on you?

• Why do you think it is important that we serve others?

• What distractions, or roadblocks, prevent us from serving others as the Lord asks us to?
