1. Who is my provider?

2. What is my spending plan?

Guard against greed because your net worth does not determine your life's worth.

3. Why am I generous?

Generosity is the guard against greed and the pathway for provision.

Talk about a time when you gave or received a generous gift. What did it feel like?

- Make two lists together

- Things we can control about our finances.

- Things that are out of our control about our finances.

- What are some tools people use for spending plans?

- Read Ecclesiastes 5:10 and Proverbs 30:8-9. If “greed is simply the excessive desire for more,” how can people know if their desire is excessive?

- Pick one of Pastor Matt’s questions and talk about it:

- “When we spend more than what we earn what if we are actually spending more than what God has provided for us?”

- “What if God is teaching us contentment by how much he provides?”

- What keeps people from spending less than they earn? What can they do about those reasons?

Generosity is the guard against greed (Luke 12:21)

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being totally peaceful and 10 being panicked, where would you rate your fiscal stress level? Take a moment and ask God what it would take to lower that number?
