The Treasure Principle #1 - Olivia Waller
This series invites us to consider our relationship with money and generosity - as our treasure reveals where our heart is. Everything we have is entrusted to us by God, and Jesus calls us to invest not simply in what we can see, spend or store up, but in what lasts for eternity.
Discussion Questions
- Why does Jesus speaks about money so often? What does it mean that our relationship with money cannot be separated from our discipleship?
- Read the stories of the Rich Young Ruler (Luke 18:18-23) and Zaccheus (Luke 19:1-10). Both stories involve people who have significant possessions before their encounter with Jesus. Why were their responses so different?
- Ps Liv shared three practical ways we can grow in generosity as we live for eternity and faithfully manage what already belongs to God:
- Begin giving regularly.
- If giving a small amount, give 10% (tithe).
- If already tithing, consider increasing by 1–2% and/or giving offerings.
Which of these challenges your personal experience with giving, and what might a practical next step look like for you?
