SCRIPTURE
2 Timothy 3:16-17
BIG IDEA
God’s path for our work and money leads to passion and peace.
SERMON OUTLINE
- Life is simple but we make it complex.
- God’s ways bring passion and peace to life.
- God’s intention for work is not about a career but about calling.
- Passion is increased when we see work as Holy Meaning Making.
- Passion leads to power and power brings opportunity to live generously.
- How I invest my wealth is a way of worship.
- Joining God in generosity leads to contentment and peace.
- Aligning my life to God’s path will change my year.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- Is work a holy calling or a necessary evil in your life? How does you attitude and effort at work reveal your belief about work? Has this attitude changed in the last 1-2 years?
- Are you a culture builder or culture buster at work? Describe one incident to illustrate your answer.
- Would spending a little time in prayer offering your work life and work future to God seem like a burden or freeing to you? What keeps you from making this commitment? Do you sense God leading you to have an open heart toward change in your job?
- Is there a sense of gratitude around your possessions and finances? If not, what is the main reason there isn’t?
- How can you join God in His generosity? If you want to recapture a right attitude about your finances at the beginning of this year, what would be your first step (i.e., Tithe fully? Invest purposefully? Give creatively and obediently?)?
MY NEXT STEP
- Be a culture builder at work
- Put a plan together for finances
- Be a purposeful giver with resources
- Something else?
