Title: SERVANTHOOD

Icebreaker:

• Do you naturally enjoy serving others, or does it feel challenging?

Commentary

Servanthood is one of the most neglected themes in the Church today. Our culture constantly teaches us to ask, “What’s in it for me?”—but the Kingdom of God teaches the opposite.

A self-centered life will always lead to dissatisfaction 

1. Servanthood is Divine and Eternal

 Read Matthew 20:28

Commentary

Servanthood didn’t begin with us—it began with God. It is a reflection of God’s nature

• The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit serve one another
• Jesus came not to be served, but to serve
• The Holy Spirit serves and helps believers

Discussion Questions

How does it change your perspective knowing servanthood is part of God’s nature?

• Why do you think the world views serving as weakness?
• How did Jesus model servanthood in His life?

2. Serving is the Pathway to Leadership

Read Matthew 20:25–27

Commentary

Jesus flips the world’s system upside down:

The way up is down

• Leadership in the Kingdom starts with humility
• Faithfulness in small things leads to greater responsibility
• Your character is revealed in how you handle what seems insignificant

Discussion Questions

Why do we often overlook “small” opportunities to serve?

• What are some small areas where God may be testing your faithfulness?
• How does serving prepare someone for leadership?

3. Servanthood Attitudes

Commentary

Servanthood is not just what you do—it’s how you think and live.

1. Serving is from the heart
2. Servants focus on what Jesus gave
3. Servants sacrifice
4. Service requires commitment
5. Serving humbles you

Discussion Questions

Which of these attitudes is hardest for you? Why?

• Have you ever struggled with wanting recognition for serving?
• What is the difference between being involved and being committed?
• How has serving shaped your character?

4. Serving for Eternity

Read Revelation 22:3

Commentary

Serving is not temporary—it is eternal.

In heaven, we will still serve God.

This means:

• Serving is not just a church activity
• It is part of our eternal identity

Discussion Questions

How does an eternal perspective change the way you serve today?

• What would it look like to serve God with your whole life, not just in church?
