Life Group Questions
Opening Question:

Who is one of the most generous people you know?  (Not just with money but also time, etc) What makes them stand out to you?

Digging Deeper: 

Read 2 Corinthians 8:7. What stands out to you in these verses?  What does it look like for us to excel in the area of giving?

 

Also look at 2 Corinthians 9:7. What do you think of when you hear a “cheerful giver”? Would you consider yourself a cheerful giver or more of a reluctant giver?  Why?

Life Application:

When was the last time you really stepped out in faith and trusted God? What happened?  Why is that so scary for us?

 

Where does your faith need to be stretched? How does our faith grow when we step out and trust God?  Are there areas where your heart needs to be aligned with God?

 

How have you seen God working recently in your own life? What about at Wilshire Avenue?

 

What does it mean and look like for our church to be united?  How can we work toward removing our excuses and fears we may have when it comes to stepping out and trusting God?

 

 

What excites you about the future of our church? How do you see God using you and your family to be part of what He is doing?
