Living Faith, Part 13: Possessions and Priorities

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What stood out to you in this message?
  2. Discuss the challenges of considering ourselves to be “rich” when we compare ourselves to those who are much more wealthy.
  3. In what ways do you tend to rely more on possessions than on God Himself?
  4. 2 Corinthians 9 tells us that God wants us to be cheerful givers. Would you consider yourself to be reasonably generous? In what way is generosity a struggle for you?
  5. Paul says that he has learned to be content in every circumstance, whether in plenty or in want (Philippians 4:11) Discuss your journey regarding contentment related to material possessions.
  6. What is a primary takeaway from this message?
