http://www.onelifeknox.com/giveBottom Line: Correcting what I count leads to true victory.
Trade my self interests for God's interests.
Give up total control.
Redefine winning.
Live for an audience of one.
START TALKING
When have you had to correct what you were counting to really accomplish what you wanted or to accomplish what was really better? (i.e. first downs vs. touchdowns or number of gifts vs. the value of the gifts or weeds vs. grass in the yard, etc.).

START THINKING
Read Mark 8:34. Why is the word "must" so important to this verse? What does it do to the meaning of this verse compared to if the word had been "should" or "can"?
Re-read this verse in two other translations. How does this verse help to give a better understanding, and a simple definition, of being a disciple of Jesus? How would you define "disciple" and how would you explain it to someone else based on this verse?

START SHARING
Read Mark 8:35. When have you tried so hard to hang on to something - a relationship, a dream, a belief, etc. - but no matter what you did you lost it? When have you experienced the opposite, of letting it go and then Jesus working out what was truly best for you?
Read Mark 8:36-37. What are the things of this world that we are all so easily - if not naturally - drawn to pursue first and foremost every day? How do those "rights and privileges" that we may feel are owed to us threaten to get in the way of God's kingdom?
Read Mark 8:38. When have you been challenged to live for the audience of one? How did that require you to not be ashamed of Jesus and His word even to yourself? And how did it require that of you with others?

3. Redefine winning.

START PRAYING
Pray for the steps each person felt led to do in the section above. Pray that each of us will grow closer to Jesus and experience his presence more and more in a real way. Pray that those around us who do not yet know Him will be drawn to Jesus because they see us living like him. Pray that we will hold each other accountable and help each other live out these ways of Jesus each and every day.
