Now that we have seen the mind of Christ throughout this study, we examine our lives to see are we truly yielding to it? Do we have a ministry that is of one love, one accord, and one mind (Phil. 2:1-4)?

Ben shares a bit of his takeaways from Ireland as well as a message that God placed on his heart.

This week we see that after humbling himself, Jesus Christ had an obedient mind towards the cross allowing nothing to stop him from fulfilling it. Do you have this mind with your obedience toward the Lord?

Peyton shares his takeaways of what he was expecting out of Ireland verses what God expected out of him.

**Opening devo's by Bella Pizor & Paisley Lallathin** Who's will is getting the preeminence in life: yours or God's? Consider the areas discussed in today's message and take some time to self-reflect afterwards on who is really in charge and who's life it is your living (1 Cor. 6:19-20; 2 Cor. 4:10-11; 5:15; Gal. 2:20; Col. 3:1-4).

We finish the final point on last week's lesson on Pruning UNFRUITFUL branches out of our life before diving into when Jesus said he purges FRUITFUL branches. What does that look like in our life? We end with a challenge to be undertaken over the next three weeks.

There's two types of branches Jesus tells us needs pruned. Today, we look at unfruitful branches and the three reasons why there might not be any fruit thereon. What needs to change?

Today, we contrast the disciples attitude toward a poor, smelly, blind beggar with the mind of Christ to serve without respect of persons. Do we pick and choose who we wish to "serve" or approach with the gospel? Or do we see others through the eyes of Christ?

Already feeling the heat and pressure of our school schedule kicking into full gear, we need to re-shift our focus on what it means to "find rest unto your souls".

**Sam Chutas opens things by answering a "lunch line scenario" born out of our Verse of the Week (1 Pt. 3:15)** School's back and with it come the day-to-day testings of our faith amidst projects, papers, presentations, practice, plays, etc. The pressures of school can be a lot on your minds as you navigate this new schedule. What can we learn from Job to help?

This is one where we need to truly ask ourselves: "Do I really know what it means to sacrifice?" Do we serve Christ at a cost or is it within our convenience? What has your faith cost you lately? **LINK TO THE SONG PLAYED AT THE END HERE**

**Opening devo by Savvy Ehret We kick-off a new series focusing on what it means to have the mind of a servant. If we want to genuinely and practically serve one another, we need to take the first step in making sure our mind is equipped and armed for battle.
