Read Acts 20:35.

Respond
  • How does this truth from God’s economy differ from the way most people view giving? Share a time when you experienced this truth.

Read 2 Corinthians 8:1–5. “Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia, that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality. For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability they gave of their own accord, begging us with much entreaty for the favor of participation in the support of the saints, and this not as we expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God.”

Respond
  • Describe the principles from this passage that should influence how much to give.

Read Galatians 2:10. “They [Peter, James and John] only asked us to remember the poor—the very thing I [the apostle Paul] also was eager to do.”

Respond
  • What do these verses say to you about the importance of giving to the poor?

Read 1 Timothy 6:9–10. “People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

Respond
  • According to this passage, what is a scripturally unacceptable reason for saving and investing, and why is it wrong to want to get rich? Do you have the desire to get rich?

Read Proverbs 21:5. “Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty” (TLB). And read Ecclesiastes 11:2. “Divide your portion to seven or even eight, for you do not know what misfortune may come up on the earth.”

Respond
  • What do these verses communicate about saving and investing, and how will you apply them?
