Luke 12:13-21
If you were not with us on Sunday you can listen to this sermon here.
1. What was your ambition in life when you were 18 years old? Was it around vocational goals (be a doctor)? relational and family goals (get married)? Goals around experiences (travel to Europe)? Which, if any, of your goals were grounded in money or stuff?
2. Reflect on your current life. What are your major sources of stress? How are they tied to your relationship with money and stuff?
3. Jesus says that our lives do not consist in the abundance of our possessions. But the culture and the advertisers are constantly telling us that our lives, in fact, do consist in the abundance of our possessions. How challenging is it for you to trust that what Jesus says is true? Where do you find the greatest struggle living into this truth?
4. How might practicing the presence of God help you to live a life centered in God ("ends," spiritual aims) vs. in money and possessions ("means," material aims)? Discuss specific disciplines that might help you with this.
5. What does it mean to live a life rich toward God? What might this look like for you?
