Every group is different. Please choose the questions that relate best to your group, and don’t feel like you have to get to every question.

Connect:

When have you seen power used for good?

When have you seen it abused?

Robert said, “You may not be a world leader, but you wield power. If you’re a parent, teacher, coach, boss, or organizational leader, you possess power.” Discuss this idea.

Engage:

Read Philippians 2:1-11 and John 19:8-11

In the message it was stated that, “Constant experience shows us that every man entrusted with power is apt to abuse it and carry his authority too far.” To what extent do you agree? In what ways does 1 Peter 5:1-10 speak to this?

Where has God loaned you power?

When have you seen power removed or influence lost?

We tend to leverage our power the same way power was leveraged over us. How do you find this to be true in your life?

What is humility? What do we misunderstand about humility?

From Philippians 2:5-11, what can we learn from Christ’s example?

How did Christ couple extraordinary power with extraordinary humility?

What is the result of coupling extraordinary humility with extraordinary power?

Apply:

Re-read Philippians 2:1-4. Are you able to do this? Whose interests do you put before your own? Who do you have a hard time considering better than yourself?

Think about who you know that exemplifies humility. How can you imitate them this week?

Jesus came and laid down His power. What do you plan to do with your power?

This week’s memory verse is 2 Corinthians 5:21. Spend time with your family and group learning it together.
