Discussion Questions:

  1. It is easy to say God is your provider yet entirely different to live like this. Do your best to explain the difference.

  2. Do you struggle believing there is an unlimited amount of resources to go around in God’s Kingdom? Discuss why there is such a struggle wrapping our minds around this Kingdom concept.

  3. How does consistent generosity and farming relate to each other? Read II Corinthians 9:6. In what ways have you practiced consistent generosity?

  4. Discuss this principal from God’s word: he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you…”

  5. Why do you think statistically, the more people make the less percentage they give away? If we do this as believers, do we hinder the “great harvest of generosity” God wants to bring?

  6. What does it look like to be a trusted spiritual channel of Kingdom resources? Remember the visual of Bonneville Dam? How are you growing in this?
