Discipleship Question: Are you generous in giving away to others?
As part of Matthew's arguement he uses the idea of giving to the needy, it isn't the essence of what he is teaching, but it is an assumption of something we should do.
- In what ways do you help those less fortunate than yourself? Write down what percentage of your income is given away and actually helps the poor or those in need.
- As a local church we give 10-20% of our offerings away to others. How much of your local church offering is used to help those who need help?
- It is important not only to give money but also time. What are some ways you can use your time to help others?
- How could you use your energy to help others. Example: The church I was Pastor of took 16 people to Fiji to build a home for a widow. We weren't all builders but we could use our labour to help.
- Make a list of some of your skills. How could these be used to help others? E.g. If you are an accountant you might help others with their budgets.
- What specifically are you going to do in the next 28 days to help someone else?
