START TALKING

Share about a time that you borrowed something of value from somebody and you were either stressed about having it in your possession or maybe you even lost or damaged it. What kind of stress did that cause you? Why?
START THINKING

Read Proverbs 22:7. In what ways have we all experienced these two big truths:

1. The rich rule over the poor.

2. Borrowers are slaves to lenders.

Use the link below and find out how "rich" you are compared to the rest of the world. What surprises you about where you stand on the global stage of wealth? If you gave 10% of your income, how wealthy would you still be with the resources you didn't give away?

START PRAYING

Pray for each other in the microchurch to trust God with their money and to allow Him to be the true Lord and provider. Pray that each of us remember He is the good, good Father who protects, provides, loves, and cares for each of us! Pray that this would be another part of our story that we can share with those who are far from God so that they will discover Jesus and how their one life can make a difference!
