There is a profound difference between service that flows from freedom and service that flows from obligation, fear, or the need to be needed. Rebekah helps us examine which one we've been doing — and what Spirit-led service actually looks and feels like.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Rebekah draws a sharp distinction between service that comes from a full heart and service that comes from empty obligation. How can you tell the difference in your own motivations when you serve? What feelings accompany each kind?
2.She argues that true service requires first receiving — you cannot give what you do not have. How does this apply to your own seasons of over-giving? Have you ever served from a place of genuine depletion, and what were the effects?
3.Jesus says in Mark 10:45 that He 'came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.' How does His service — which came from radical freedom and love, not compulsion — serve as the model and motivation for ours?
