In a tough economy, our fear drives us to focus on making a living through what we can get, instead of God's priority on making a life through what we can give.
James 2:5-7
- How much influence does the media, politics, movies or economics have on your values?
- Where have you seen or experienced the widening of the equity gap in our community? What do you think should be done to stop it?
- Why do you think Jesus spent his time mainly with the poor, oppressed and needy? Was he showing favoritism?
- Has the pursuit of “valuables” ever kept you from pursuing kingdom values? Explain.
- Do you demonstrate responsibility in your “wealth” or blessings from God? Describe.
- How interdependent are you on others? Are you in a community that helps you to help others? Explain.
