3 Ways to Grow to be an Abundant Giver:
1) GIVE SPONTANEOUSLY.
It’s not an INTERRUPTION, but a DIVINE APPOINTMENT.

Talk It Over
1. On a scale of 1 to 5, how blessed are you by God? In light of 80% of the world living on less than $3500/year, we are all truly blessed in America. But it goes much deeper than that. Acts 20:35 says, “It’s more blessed to give than to receive.” In other words, it’s a blessing to receive, but it’s more blessed to give. Describe how true that statement is in your own experience?
2. In Luke 17 Jesus healed 10 lepers, but only 1 came back. According to Luke 17:15, “One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.” why did the 1 leper come back? Generate a list of the things God has healed you or saved you from? As you look over the list describe how grateful you are for the things God has done. Would you describe yourself more as the 1 leper who returned to God first or more as one of the other 9 who maybe came back to Jesus later or not at all? Why?
3. To become an abundant giver Pastor Sean mentioned 3 ways to give: spontaneously, strategically, sacrificially. Without using numbers, describe your typically way of giving? If you have strategies in place for giving describe your strategy. If you have had a season of sacrificial giving describe why you where so open to give and the joy you had from sacrificial giving. What is one step you can take to follow God’s call on your life to be generous?
