Week 2: Generosity – Contentment, Simplicity & Margin
Warm-up:
What spontaneous act of generosity did you practice this week, and how did it go?
Were you able to feel the joy of God in your practice?
What challenges did you face—emotionally, spiritually, or practically?
What new ideas about generosity have been growing in you this last week?
Dive Deeper:
If you were to measure your level of contentment on a scale of 1 to 10—where 1 is feeling the anxiety of greed and desire for more, and 10 is feeling non-anxious and satisfied with what you have—where would you plot yourself right now? Why?
Where are you currently experiencing a lack of margin in your life—relationally, financially, or in your schedule?
What is one area of your life you sense Jesus might be inviting you to simplify—your calendar, your possessions, your spending, or something else?
Name a few of the best things in your life right now. What are you most grateful for?
The invitation to practice this week is to sell one of our possessions and give the money to someone in need - or simply to give that item to a person in need. How are you feeling about this and how could the group encourage you?
Closing:
Take a few moments to pray for one another—asking for a deeper contentment in Jesus, courage to simplify where needed, and wisdom to create healthy margin in your lives.
