3. Why do you think that's something we seek out?

4. How do we know when our desire to be noticed or appreciated has gone beyond what's normal and become selfish?

5. How would you define "humility"?
How did Paul and Silas demonstrate it?

6. How is being humble different from just putting yourself down or staying quiet all the time?

7. What are some ways that a lack of humility could prevent someone from passing on the good news of Jesus effectively?

8. Read 1 Corinthians 3:6–11. In this passage, what is Paul trying to help us understand about passing on the good news?

9. If you follow Jesus, who are some people who helped you get to know him? How did those people each play different roles in passing on the good news to you?

the good news of Jesus more effectively?
