服事之由 Why Serve
我們是蒙恩之人；然而，我們常發現自己追逐私慾，而非分享所領受的恩典。值此志工主日，Reverend Jared Co 將強調在神的國度中服事他人、將恩典延伸予眾人的重要性。
We are people who have received grace, yet we often chase after selfish desires rather than sharing the grace we’ve received. On this Volunteer Sunday, Reverend Jared Co urges us to serve in God’s kingdom so we can extend His grace to all.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- If you knew you only had one year left, what would change in how you spend your time and energy? Why?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Read the passage. How should living with the awareness that “the end is near” shape the way you think, pray, and prioritize your life?
- What does Peter mean when he says love should be “deep” and able to “cover a multitude of sins” (v.8)? How is this different from sentimental or surface-level love?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
- How much does the reality that “the end is near” actually influence your daily decisions, priorities, and commitments right now?
- In what ways might you be tempted to do nothing rather than risk discomfort, inconvenience, or sacrifice in serving others?
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
- What is one specific way you can practice hospitality this month—not just opening your home, but opening your life?
- What gifts, skills, or resources has God entrusted to you that you are currently underusing or not using at all? Where might God be inviting you to serve more intentionally inside or outside the church?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Praise the Heavenly Father for His abundant grace that sustains both our lives and our service. Thank Him that every gift we have comes from His hand and is meant to bring glory back to Him. Express your gratitude for His love showed through Jesus Christ, who did not merely open His life to us but gave it up completely so that we might find our true home in Him.
- Ask for forgiveness for the times you have lived as though the end is far away, choosing comfort, convenience, and self-interest over loving and serving others. Repent for withholding love, grumbling in service, or doing nothing with the gifts God has entrusted to you. Pray that He would shape you to love deeply, serve faithfully, and steward your life in a way that brings glory to Him through Jesus Christ.
