Service and Secrecy
Serving others can be exhausting. So what is it that motivates you to serve? It's easy to serve for your own glory--to become wrapped up in your own goodness. Yet God challenges you to serve not out of love for yourself but to develop a Christlike love for others. In this Bible study guide, Jan Johnson covers the disciplines of service and secrecy. Going deeper in these areas will help you to avoid prideful motivations and to enjoy partnering with God. You learn to "be" even as you "do."

"Serving others can make you or break you. Working hard to help others can train you in compassion and selflessness as no other discipline can-IF you stay connected with God. Otherwise, your diligent efforts can become self-serving." (page 27)
"Like Peter, we may resist being served. But Jesus wants others to serve us and to teach us how to serve" (page 51)
