“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do, and what I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do.” D. L. Moody
“I hope that like me you will be comforted by the example of Jesus of Nazareth. Who often circumstances of great adversity, managed to live an outgoing, unselfish, and sacrificial life. He makes it clear that genuine human happiness and satisfaction lie more in giving and receiving, more in serving than being served.” Queen Elizabeth II
“Don't let any opportunity lead you away from serving God. That's a price that's too high to pay." George Foreman

Personal Study & Small Group Questions
1. Read Romans 12:11; Galatians 5:13 & Colossians 3:24. What is your reaction and immediate response to the idea that you are commanded to be a servant to God and other believers?
2. Read Matthew 4:8-10 & Deuteronomy 6:10-14. Do you agree with the statement that we all serve something? Why or why not? What hinders us from serving God?
3. Read 1 Peter 2:4-5;9 . What does Peter mean by this? Try to put it in in your own words. Do you understand the idea of the term “The Priesthood of all believers”? How or how not?
4. Read Revelation 22:3 What is your reaction to the idea that we will be serving God for all eternity? How do you think we will do this? Why would God require this?
5. Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. What do you know about Spiritual gifts? Do you know YOUR spiritual gifts. If Yes then what are they? If No, why not? Why do you think that there is such diversity?
6. Read through the lists of Spirtual Gifts (Romans 12:6-8; Ephesians 4:11; 1 Corinthians 12:7-10; 27-30). Allow others in the group to suggest what spiritual gifts they see or potentially see in one another?
7. Read Matthew 20:25-28 & John 13:12-15. When it comes to serving, did Jesus live what he taught? How?
8. One by one, go through the acronym for SHAPE and share how these may relate to each of you. (Spiritual Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, Experiences.) ie: What passions, abilities, experiences do you have that you could use to serve God and others with!
9. What are the ways that YOU are serving God & others? In the church? Outside the church?
10. How could you improve when it comes to your serving? How has God challenged you or spoke to you through this message?
