Episode 2 Summary
- God is consistently inviting his followers into living differently, and with so many verses about money, it’s clear money is included in this.
- The Bible also talks about blessings and greed, and these verses are often taken out of context.
- Jesus stepped onto earth and continued to invite people to live differently, but he also uprooted false cultural beliefs about blessings and greed.
Discussion Questions
-
Do you agree with Tim Keller that greed hides itself from its victim? Do you think greed is easy to see in other people? Why or why not?
-
Do the ideas in manifesting appeal to you? There are similarities between it and prayer, but they are far from the same thing. What are some differences between the two?
-
Jesus spends a lot of time encouraging his followers to trust God and models it for them. Is it easy to trust God? What makes it more difficult?
Diving Deeper
Luke 16
Read the entirety of Luke 16. We weren’t kidding when we said there’s a lot of verses about money. Here’s an entire chapter! Spend some time reading and praying through this chapter of Luke. Where do you see yourself in the narrative? (You can’t be Jesus, sorry). Spend some time asking the Lord to reveal some of the places in your life where greed may have crept in.
