Called by Name (4b) - Called to Serve


Listen Later

In our 'Called by Name' series we take time each Sunday AND on the Wednesdays in between, to look at what the Bible teaches us about discovering and living out God’s purpose for our lives.

This Lent journey explores themes of identity, surrender, and mission. Each week focuses on a different aspect of our calling, drawing from Scripture and stories of biblical figures.


Recorded from the Lent Gatherings on Wednesday 26th March 2025

Reading: John 13:1-17

Speaker: Jeremy Jobling


Questions we discussed in Small Groups:

  1. What does Jesus’ action of washing the disciples’ feet teach us about true leadership? (v.3-5)
  2. How does Peter initially respond to Jesus’ service? Why do you think he reacts this way? (v.6-9)
  3. What does Jesus mean when He says, *“I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you”*? (v.12-15)
  4. Takeaway Question: What is one way you can serve someone this week in a practical, meaningful way?


Prayer Pointers

  1. Pray for a servant’s heart – Ask God to help us serve with humility and love.
  2. Pray for opportunities – That we would see needs around us and respond in action.  


Closing Thought: Serving is a choice. Now that you know these things, will you do them?
