THE JOURNEY DEVOTIONAL (January 28th Week) Discussion Questions from the Sermon

1. What was something you learned or heard this week that made an impact on you? In what ways has this week’s message challenged the way that you think about the Christian faith or God?

2. Read Acts 4:36-37, 2 Samuel 24:18-25, and Luke 10:28-38. What examples of extravagant giving do you see in these passages? What might have been the impact of each example?

3. Read 2 Samuel 24:24. What do you learn about generosity from this example?

4. What behavior or action has this week’s message challenged you to do differently, or more diligently, in your life?

5. As you strive to become more like Jesus, what has this message revealed to you about His character that you would like to grow and live into? How does this make you want to become more like Him?

6. Our resources are an opportunity for us to serve and love the Lord. What is one way you can use your resources this week to honor God?

Weekly Bible Memory Verse: But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” 2 Samuel 24:24

the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it…Psalm 24:1

2. The _______________ we have _______________ from the

Lord. You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:17-18

3. The ______________ of discipleship (following Jesus) is our

4. Our ____________________ are to be used to ___________

Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

Luke 10:34-35
