Read Ruth 1:16-17. There are three choices we can make to overcome selfishness:

1. Choose God as our God (Matthew 6:24).
   • In your daily life, what does it look like for you to choose God as your God?
   • What are the things that want to sneak into your life and become an idol before you realize it (your job, hobbies, kids, finances, etc.)?
2. Choose His people to be your people (Hebrews 10:24-25 and Galatians 5:13).
   • Have you chosen the people of Valley Creek to be your people?
   • If so, how are they helping you live a life of servanthood? If not, what’s stopping you?
3. Choose to die to yourself (Mark 10:45 and Mark 8:34-35).
   • When you find yourself at a crossroads like Ruth, which path do you take?
   • What does it look like for you to choose servanthood (being concerned for someone else’s good and acting on it) instead of selfishness (being concerned with your good)?
