Small Groups

we are created to live in community

Grow Together

Meeting in small groups affords us all the opportunity to more fully experience God through close relationships as we pray and laugh together, as we encourage and help one another, and as we study and live out God’s word together – simply put, it’s where we grow together by doing life together.

Small groups consist of three or more people in various life stages who meet on a regular basis – these can be families, friends, or even perfect strangers.

Dig In Questions

Week of April 28, 2024 – Got Questions? Why Does the Church Talk About Money?

Description:

Everyone has questions, and so do you. Over the past year, we have surveyed you through social media and in person and chosen the top questions you want answered from the Bible. This week, why does the church talk about money? Am I supposed to tithe? Is tithing an Old Testament thing?

*If in a group: The study of finances and the church can be very personal. Please be gracious and considerate as you navigate different opinions and preferences on this topic.

Dig-In Questions:

Get to know you/icebreaker question: what from your childhood has most impacted your perspective on money? (ex. Did you grow up poor? “Pinching pennies?” was your Mom or Dad the spender?)
If an investigator could only investigate your bank account, savings, and spending, what would they say are the most important things in your life? Would they say you love God first and foremost? Why or why not?
To answer today’s question, “Why does the Church talk about money?” We have to realize the goal of the body of believers is to make fully devoted followers of God. Read Matt. 6:19-24). Discuss why Jesus spoke about money.
The Bible speaks a lot about money. Let’s look at three reasons why this topic is worthy of serious discussion.
1. God has always wanted first and best – Read: Gen. 4:1-4, Ex. 13:1-2, Deut. 14:23, Matt. 6:24, 33
2. God asks for all of the first – Read: Micah 3:8-10, Matt. 23:23
3. Give because God gave first – Read: John 3:16, 1 John 4:19
Given these three reasons why the topic of giving is so foundational in scripture, it’s essential to remember 2 Cor. 9:6-7. Read and discuss this, given the other passages.
Billy Graham once said on tithe, “We have found in our own home, as have thousands of others, that God’s blessing upon the nine-tenths when we tithe, helps it to go farther than ten-tenths without His blessing.” Would you say that was true for you? Take time to pray and consider your next step in giving to God.
