Live It Out | A Daily Discipleship Guide

Listen to this week’s sermon or the Live It Out Podcast | APPLE MUSIC | SPOTIFY

Monday

Following Jesus leads to a humble life of loving and serving others. How does Jesus’ humility challenge our cultural expectations of leadership and power? What area of your life needs a step toward humility, quiet service, or letting go of status? What is something God is currently teaching you about the kind of King Jesus is? How does that shape the way you treat others in your day-to-day life? Where can you reflect his love and humility right now? Plan to fast this Friday. Ask Jesus, “Who needs to see you love them today?”

Tuesday

The resurrection opens the door for us to live with humility. Zechariah describes a king who comes not with power and intimidation, but with humility and peace. How does this challenge your view of leadership, influence, or strength? Where in your life might God be calling you to lead through humility? What is something God is currently teaching you about your identity? How do you view yourself? How do you view others? Ask Jesus, “What’s one thing you want me to know about me?” Allow the truth of the response to shine through, that’s true humility.

Wednesday

The resurrection leads us to love without expectation. Which part of this teaching from Jesus challenges you the most right now—loving enemies, doing good, or expecting nothing in return? Why do you think that is? What is something God is currently teaching you about His love? How might that be shaping the way you love others this week? Ask Jesus, “What are my expectations lying beneath the surface? How do you want to transform them?”

Thursday

The resurrection allows us to serve without the need for recognition. How does Jesus’ definition of greatness challenge the way we often think about success? What is something God is currently teaching you about serving him or others? How does that reshape your attitude toward everyday opportunities to serve? Sign up for Serve Saturday. Ask Jesus, “Who can I serve today?”

Friday

Following Jesus leads to a humble life of loving and serving others. Fast today. Remember the life traded for your life. What emotions does this stir in you? How can you express gratitude in light of the greatest trade in history, as Jesus traded his life for ours? Attend a Good Friday service on your campus.
