  • Have you seen other TikTok stars, influencers, or celebrities using their platforms for good? Do you think their actions were motivated more from a desire to help or from wanting to look good in front of their platforms? Why? (Allow teens to share examples.)

 While many social media influencers do use their platforms solely to make money or grow their fame, there are also people using their platforms to serve others—like the woman in this video.

Today, we’ll see that God has called us to serve one another, but it’s important to be aware of the motivations behind why we are serving others and how we go about it. In this week’s lesson, we’ll learn that God gives us the ability to serve, and we will consider ways He wants us to use these abilities to serve others.
