SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER
If you could surprise someone with any gift—no budget limits—who would you choose and what would you give them?
What’s the most generous gift you’ve ever received—monetary or otherwise? How did it make you feel?
SERMON QUOTES
What was your favorite quote from the message on Sunday?
GOING DEEPER IN THE WORD TOGETHER
Read: 2 Corinthians 9 (NLT)
This is Paul speaking to the church about being generous givers.
Verse 6 speaks about planting and harvesting. What do you think it means to “plant generously” in everyday life?
Verse 7 says God loves a person who gives cheerfully. Why do you think our attitude in giving matters as much as the act of giving itself?
How do you wrestle with giving cheerfully rather than out of guilt?
Verse 8 promises that God will generously provide all you need. How do you balance trusting God to provide with your own sense of responsibility?
Can you share a time when God provided for you or someone else?
Verses 10–11 talk about God giving more seed and increasing your resources so you can be generous. What does this say about the purpose of God’s blessings in our lives?
How can your giving be a witness to others about the gospel?
APPLYING SCRIPTURE TO YOUR LIFE
Where in your life do you feel God inviting you to be more generous—with time, money, encouragement, or something else?
What’s one practical step you can take this week to “sow generously” into someone else’s life?
