Warning for the Wealthy

Discussion Questions:

1) Was there anything from the sermon or the passage that stuck out to you?

2) We know the right answer is to trust God, yet our actions reveal where our security actually lies. When you face financial uncertainty or unexpected expenses, what is your gut reaction, and what does that reveal about where you find security?

3) The morality of money says that whatever helps you gain more wealth is right, which can lead us to justify cutting corners or treating people unfairly. Can you think of a time when financial pressure tempted you to compromise on treating someone with fairness or generosity?

4) James warns that our treasures will bear witness at judgment to who or what our god truly was. If someone examined your bank statements, calendar, and possessions, what would they conclude you worship or value most?

5) When we say "I surrender all" to God, we often hold back certain areas like our finances, homes, or security. What is one specific area of your life or possession that you find hardest to truly surrender to God's control?
