Luke 12:13-21
Message Questions:
- How much does it matter to you that things are fair? Are some matters more important than others—like how money gets spent or if a ref seems to be favouring one team over another?
- This guy wanted Jesus to “bring justice” to his situation. Why was Jesus not interested in helping out? Isn’t Jesus in favour of justice?
- Define greed. Why is greed so hard to self-detect? Are you able to see where you struggle with greed?
- Is there something that a community, like SPL, could do to protect ourselves from greed? Is the battle with greed one we fight alone or could we support each other?
- Read further into Luke 12. Jesus offers an alternative to greed. Go on a hunt (vv. 22-34) and find out what the alternative is.
