May 25, 2009 · Filed Under Sermon Study Guides, Sermons
Malachi 3:6-12
- Look at Malachi 3:6 and James 1:17. What consolation or encouragement do you get from God’s immutability? What are the theological alternatives to an immutable God? What are the problems with them?
- Why is giving so important? Should giving be characterized as a spiritual discipline?
- Read 2 Corinthians 9:6-11. What do you learn from this passage about giving?
- What is a proper definition of “grace?” What do you understand “grace giving” to mean? What difference does a proper understanding of “grace giving” mean for an individual’s life? How about for the life of our church?
- Why do you think people either do not give or give sparingly to the church? What do you think would help people step into a more biblical framework of giving?
- Pray for one another to give to the Lord in an honoring and sacrificial fashion. Pray for Lifeline to grow in its financial depth and capability.
