First Covenant Church
A Harvest of Righteousness
Some of us are the life of the party and some of us need our personal space. One thing we all have in common: we need friends and we desire to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. We have a deep need to be part of something that matters. Doesn’t it feel good to belong?

Small Group Questions
May 14, 2023
1) Give generously. That’s the theme this week. Giving generously can happen in many different ways: to the local church, to non-profits, to individuals, and to other causes. When it comes to giving (money, time, skill), what is a roadblock that gets in the way of giving?
2) Read 2 Corinthians 8:8-15. As you look at Paul’s case for the contribution to Jerusalem, what is the goal of the gift?
3) What does Paul mean in verse 12 about the gift being acceptable?
4) Read verse 9 again, then consider this question from Randy Alcorn & Tim Keller: “Do I live as if I’m focused on heaven, where I plan to live forever, or on earth, where I’ll live one-billionth of my existence? In light of eternity, am I happy about where I’m placing my focus?”*
5) The opening question was about roadblocks, but what about blessings? What is the result of giving freely without attachment?
