Sermon Questions:
- Pray
- What do you consider to be the “poverty line”?
- In general, poverty is a part of this world because of the “fall due to sin” … however, there are a variety of other factors that impact poverty, including: foolishness (Proverbs 13:18, 21:5), injustice (Proverbs 13:23), “spin cycle poverty” (Proverbs 28:3), and sovereign outcomes (Proverbs 10:22; 28:22). How have you seen these contribute to the poverty you have seen or personally experienced in the world?
- Is there any foolishness in your own life (contributing to financial problems) that you need to change?
- What are some things you can do to help the poor around you physically AND relationally?
- What is one need you can meet in the life of another this month in the church or in the community? (Proverbs 11:24-25; 21:13; 22:9; 28:27)
- Throughout this series, we looked at a number of Proverbs related to money. What has stood out to you most from this series?
- What is one particular application you took away from this message?
