Message Discussion Questions

For the Week of April 28th

“The Blessing”

1. Who do you know that lives generously? What makes you think that about them?

2. Read Acts 20:33–35 aloud. Paul is writing to friends in the city of Ephesus explaining how he lived his life. What key words stand out to you and why? In your own words, what would you say Paul’s bottom line is?

3. Giving is an act, but generosity is a spiritual practice. How do you think the act of becoming a percentage giver might help you to develop the practice of generosity? How do you think giving away a percentage of your income might change your heart over time?

4. Read 2 Corinthians 9. What promises does God give to the believer in order to comfort fear and inspire generosity?

5. This week’s Next Step is to put your trust in God by giving Him the first part of your income. How do you plan on making this a habit in your life?
