Opening
If you were gifted $1 million tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d do with the money?
Diving Deeper
- What is the difference between wealth and the love of money? Which one do you believe God dislikes more, and why?
- In Luke 18:18-29, what is Jesus disappointed with?
- Read 1 Timothy 6:17. What does it mean to put your hope in God, not wealth?
- Why do you think God blesses some humans more abundantly with finances than others?
- It’s obviously possible for wealthy people to get into Heaven. What do you think Jesus meant in Luke 18:24 when He said, “Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God”?
- Read Ecclesiastes 5:19-20. What’s the difference between feeling guilty and responsible?
- What’s the biggest thing holding you back from tithing more (and not just to King of Kings, but other reputable organizations as well)?
- Other than money, what are you rich in that you can use to enhance the kingdom of God?
