The Best Supporting Actor

Aug 3, 2025    Sebastiano Rosa

Not everyone is called to be in the spotlight, but each of us is called to shine. John the Baptist didn’t chase recognition—he embraced his role to point others to someone greater. His life is a powerful reminder that significance isn’t found in being the center of attention, but in faithfully preparing the way for others to encounter Jesus. This message invites you to follow his example: live humbly, love boldly, and step into the role God has sent you to fulfill.



Group Discussion Questions:

1. John the Baptist knew he wasn’t the main character—he was there to prepare the way for Jesus. Who has “prepared the way” for you in your faith journey, and how did they impact your relationship with Jesus?


2. John embraced his role with humility, even when he had influence and a following. Where in your life do you struggle with pride or the desire to be seen, and how might God be calling you to step back so that He can be seen more clearly?


3. We are all “sent” to someone—at home, at work, in our neighborhoods. Who in your life do you sense God has sent you to influence or encourage spiritually? What’s one step you can take this week to be more intentional in that relationship?


4. John found joy and purpose in being a “best supporting actor.” What does it look like in your everyday life to play a supporting role for someone else’s growth or calling? How can your gifts help others draw closer to Jesus?


5. What fears, doubts, or distractions tend to hold you back from being a bold influence for Christ, and what might it look like to surrender those to God?
