Growth Group Questions — John 12:1–8                                            9-20-26

Main Idea: Because Christ gave Himself for us, we respond with devotion expressed through generous and practical service.

CONNECT

1. When has someone gone above and beyond to serve you? What made their act of kindness so meaningful?

GROW

2. Read John 12:1–3. Mary expressed extraordinary devotion to Jesus. How are you serving God right now, and in what ways could you demonstrate greater devotion?

3. Read 1 Peter 4:10. What gift, ability, or opportunity has God entrusted to you? How could you use it more intentionally to serve others?

4. Read John 12:3–6. Mary gave something of great value. What do you consider most precious to you? How would you respond if following God required you to give up something you deeply value?

5. Read John 12:7–8 and 2 Corinthians 5:14–15. Jesus connected Mary’s gift to His approaching burial. What motivates you to serve God? How does remembering Christ’s sacrifice shape your motivation for serving Him?

SERVE

6. What sometimes keeps you from recognizing opportunities to serve others? How can you become more intentional about putting the needs of others first?

PRAY
