Chapter 17: Compassionate Harvest-a Model for Service

1.  In what ways do we live out the redemptive kindness of God in service to the needy and downtrodden in society?  In our family?

2.  How can we help our children look at other people through Jesus' eyes and respond as He did?

3.  Share an example of an interruption that turned out to be a ministry opportunity.

4.  Jesus never asks us to do what he has not already been willing to do.  John 15:13 [Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.] states the Lord's definition of the greatest love a person could give.  How did he show this kind of love for us?  If you strive to follow his example, how would it change the way you parent your children?

Action Point-
Name three ways in which you have laid down your own life (goals, time or expectations) for your children.  In what specific areas do your children need to learn how to lay down their own lives and expectations so they can become mature and ready to serve God?
