Talk It Over

Read the verses and questions together!

“This is why I tell you to never be worried about your life, for all that you need will be provided, such as food, water, clothing—everything your body needs. Isn’t there more to your life than a meal? Isn’t your body more than clothing?”

Matthew 6:25 (TPT)

• When you were growing up, what was communicated to you about money? Was money a topic of stress or peace?

• How does what Jesus says in Matthew 6:25 differ from what you were taught about your resources?

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Psalm 24:1-2 (NIV)

• Everything we have belongs to God! How does this principle affect how you think about and deal with your finances?

Billy Graham once said, “Every person’s checkbook is a theological document. It tells you who and what they worship.”

• Do you agree or disagree with this quote?

• If you’re being honest, what does your checkbook say about who and what you worship?

Prayer Focus

Step 1) Split up into groups of threes.

Step 2) Take turns praying for each person. Always begin by inviting the Holy Spirit and expecting Him to show up!

Step 3) When you finish praying, ask each person what they experienced and if they heard God speak to them. Share your experience.
