LIVING GENEROUSLY

Every one of us wants to Live Generously. Being made in the image of God puts that desire in our hearts. Jesus taught often on money matters and mindsets. He is the very best financial counselor. This series will teach the principles and practices of Living Generously. Without exception, this leads to freedom, joy, and deep satisfaction.

THIS WEEK’S REFLECTION AND QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.

1. When you were growing up, how would you describe your family’s view toward money? What was your family’s attitude toward generosity?

2. Who is the most generous person that you know? Who has blessed you by their generosity?

3. How would you describe your attitude and thinking toward generosity? Where are you today on this journey?

4. Brainstorm a list of ways that generosity makes for a richer, fuller life. How has this played out in your life already?

5. Do you have anything that you would not let others borrow?

6. Who will you share this message with, this week?
