Sandals Church Sermon / Small Group Notes: John 13 – Love & Servanthood

We have a stupendous church with amazing teaching and a fantastic small group. Every week my wife and I lead a small group bible study, and I figured since I take lotsa’ notes and actually spend time preparing for it every week, I might as well post them for you. I’m going to make it easy on me by posting them in information “note” format. Hopefully you find this both useful and helpful. Please give me feedback and let me know.

When I create posts like these, I will try to include the following:

• A quick overview of the sermon
• My notes / thoughts from the sermon in bullet point format
• Discussion questions
• Paste the scripture we read aloud in small group
• Provide a link to the sermon

This should be easy right? [...]
