Living a Life in Sandals: Service & Sacrifice

If Jesus’ mission was one of service and sacrifice, and we collectively are the body of Christ and individually members of that body, then… our church family and our individual lives should be characterized by service and sacrifice.
Discussion Questions for Growth Groups
