In God We Trust Discussion Guide

BIG IDEA:
The heart of giving is found in faith, rooted in surrender.
TEACHING POINTS:

• The issue isn’t having wealth but our attitude toward it.

• When God has been rich toward us, He desires us to be rich toward others.

• We can be generous because our security is in the person of Jesus.

SCRIPTURE: Luke 12:13-21
