Dear Brothers,
We gather this upcoming [date] for our next Men’s Fellowship meeting in the [location] from [start time] to [end time].
[Leader names] will lead our discussion topic: ‘I am Third‘.
I Am Third is a title of the autobiography of Gale Sayers, the great Chicago Bears running back. His faith and approach to life included: God is First, Family & Friends are Second, and I am Third. Though this sounds ‘wise’ on paper – how often do we struggle with ‘prioritizing our priorities’?, Be it Selfishness, Time, etc…
Readings
- Matthew 22: 36-40 – Jesus teaches us the greatest commandments…
- Philippians 2: 3 – The importance of humility…
- Mark 10: 45 – The ultimate example of putting onesself third…
Discussion Questions
- What does this order of priorities (God, Others, Oneself) mean to you?
- Do the priorities in your life measure up to this? If not, why not?
- Do you find yourself dutifully putting yourself third, but instead of Christ’s peace – one becomes filled with resentment, anger & judgement? Why is this, and how do you overcome this?
- What’s one thing you can do going forward to better ‘put yourself third’?
God Bless.
