SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

1. What’s an “invisible job” you do regularly (at home, work, church, etc.) that most people don’t notice?

2. John goes out of his way to say Jesus knew His authority, identity, and destiny (John 13:1–3). How does knowing who you are in God affect your willingness to serve?

3. What stands out to you most about Jesus’ actions in John 13:4–5 (getting up, taking off His outer clothing, wrapping the towel, pouring water, washing feet)?

4. Peter resists Jesus washing his feet (John 13:6–8). What are some modern ways we resist being served or receiving grace?

5. Jesus says, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” What is Jesus teaching Peter about the connection between receiving grace and belonging to Jesus?

6. Where are you most tempted to say, “That’s not my job”? (At home, work, church, or with certain people?)

7. The message says: “The truest measure of maturity is what you’re willing to do when no one’s watching.” Where have you grown in this, and where do you still struggle?

8. Jesus says, “I have set you an example… you also should wash one another’s feet” (John 13:14–15). What do you think that looks like in real life today?

9. Jesus promises blessing, not for knowing, but for doing (John 13:17). What’s one “towel step” you could take this week that would stretch you?

10. If our church became known for one thing in the community, what would you want it to be—and what’s one practical way you can help move us toward that?
