Community Group Resources

1. Have someone in your group give a brief recap of Sunday’s message, highlighting the primary Scripture passages and main idea of the message.

2. How did this message strengthen and/or correct your previous ideas about generosity? Was there anything you heard for the first time or that caught your attention, challenged, or confused you? Did you learn anything new about God or yourself this week?

3. How would you describe generosity in our culture?

   • Where do you see it? Where is it lacking? Where is it more valued and cherished?

4. How have you experienced generosity in your life? Can you share a time when someone’s generosity impacted you or someone you know? 

5. Read 2 Corinthians 9:6. What are some ways we can “sow generously” in our daily lives?

6. Read 2 Corinthians 9:7. Why do you think cheerfulness is important in giving? 

   • How can we cultivate a joyful attitude towards giving, even when it might be challenging?

7. What are some barriers to living generously? How can we overcome these barriers?

8. In what areas of your life do you feel called to be more generous? How can our community group actively support and encourage each other in acts of generosity that lead others to worship?
