08/03 Journey to the Promised Land: Loving the Stranger

Life Group Notes on Stewardship

1)    When have you felt most motivated to be generous in the past? What motivated you then? What most motivates you to be generous now?

Read 2 Cor 9:6-15

2)    Paul talks about giving “cheerfully.” What helps you give with joy rather than pressure?

3)    How have you experienced God providing for you when you’ve been generous?

4)    Which part of trusting God with your resources feels easiest or hardest right now?

5)    Paul says generosity results in thanksgiving to God. How have you seen giving strengthen community or faith?

6)    What does “sowing generously” look like in everyday life—not just financially?

7)    Where might God be inviting you to “sow” more intentionally this season?

8)    What helps you keep your heart aligned with God’s purposes when you give?

Read Numbers 18:20-32

9)     What do you find helpful about the tithing principle and this passage? As Christians, what can we take from it?

10)  Pray into our individual responses and the church’s stewardship appeal overall.
