Our Part – Discussion
-
What in the notes did you find revealing, interesting or challenging?
-
The idea that our finances affect our relationship with God is a new one. I’d heard the stuff about being stewards because God owns everything, but it’s more challenging this time. That is, it feels like it actually means something important.
-
It’s challenging to think that I need to be sure to let God be the one in control. I like being in control.
-
I learned that God owns everything and we tend to put money first instead of God. That we can’t serve two masters , we must love one and despise the other. Money is the root of evil but God is the true root wealth. We must seek first the kingdom and all righteousness will be added upon us.
-
Now I know God owns everything and I own nothing.
Now I know I’m spending God’s money, and that I don’t spend my own money, that God owns all my money.
God has wisdom in how he wants me to spend His money. I never was good in my money and I’m living in poverty currently. I believe once I correct my attitude towards spending God’s money, God will pull me out of my poverty.
-
I didn’t realize the size of the universe, until given the breakdown provided in the notes! This lesson is about way more than finances; it is truly changing my perspective of how mighty God is. He created and owns literally everything yet still specifically knows me and loves me.
-
What does being “faithful with the little things” look like for you at this stage of your life?
-
Being faithful means managing my finances wisely, like budgeting, saving, and avoiding debt. It also involves giving generously, maintaining what I already have, and being trustworthy in all responsibilities, no matter how small. It’s about showing integrity and care in everyday decisions that may seem minor but matter greatly to God.
-
Trusting in the Lord as stewards to manage his possessions.
-
It’s everything…how I respond in frustrating situations, how I keep the house clean and meals ready for my family, how I care for my friends, how I spend money, the “relationship” I have with screens..:all things need to be handled with faithfulness in a way that brings God glory.
-
Taking good care of my cell group – caring for and giving them the spiritual foundations they need – making disciples of them.

-
Raising my family to have relationships with Christ. And also putting time and money into my house I rent to renovate it
-
What insights did you get from completing the Deed?
-
Realizing that this doesn’t just mean materialistic things, but things I hold even more dearly-my family, medical situations, etc.
-
I learn to count my blessings – to savour what I already have from the Lord.
#finance
-
I thought about the things I wrote, I truly asked myself if I loved any of these things more than God. Releasing things to Him allows me to focus more on Him
-
That all belongs to God
-
To always thank God for what He has given us.
