April 2020 - Week 3 Preteen Parent Cue
WEEK THREE
PHILIPPIANS 2:3-8
Servant Principle
ASK THIS:
What keeps you from putting others first?
REMEMBER THIS:
"Don’t do anything only to get ahead.
Don’t do it because you are proud.
Instead, be humble. Value others
more than yourselves."

PHILIPPIANS 2:3, NIrV
DO THIS:

 BED TIME

Be humble. Be grateful. Be careful. Sounds like he had the balance between ego and humility down pretty well . . .
