Opening Questions

• What stood out to you in the sermon? 
• What insights did you gain? 
• What questions did it raise?

 2 Corinthians 9:6-13

• How does verse 10 describe God’s role in providing for those who give? How does this verse challenge a scarcity mindset?
• In verse 11, Paul says that generosity results in thanksgiving to God. Why do you think generosity leads to worship?
• Verse 12 states that generosity not only meets practical needs but also overflows in “many expressions of thanks to God.” What does this tell us about the spiritual impact of giving?
• According to verse 13, how does generosity serve as a testimony to the gospel?

The Blessing in Generosity

• Verses 8-10 say that the blessing in generosity is for us to bless others. The sermon highlighted that the blessing of generosity isn’t about gaining more for ourselves but about being able to bless others.
• How does this contrast with cultural messages about success and prosperity?
• Has there been a time that you have experienced God’s provision for you when you specifically stepped out in generosity or service? 

Growing Together

• Our church is in a season of financial commitment for building renovations. How does this passage help shape our attitude toward giving to this project?
• How do you feel God challenging you to participate in this campaign?

Closing Prayer
