Allegiance to Jesus ought to change our idea of normal at least as much as allegiance to a sports team. 

What does it look like to recognize and respond tangibly to the needs of others? 

• Giving generously of our time and resources
• Using our gifts and skills to serve others

Why should these be normal for a follower of Jesus?

• God expects us to be generous with others because he has been generous with us (Rm. 6.22-23). 

• God expects us to serve because the greatest in his Kingdom are those who serve (Lk. 22.24-27) 

Application: Who are we becoming in Christ?

• If we are disciples of Jesus, we should expect following him to transform our idea of what is normal.
