  (Leviticus 19:13)

  COFFEE QUESTIONS

  -In what ways do you find the Bible’s teaching on money to be challenging and convicting?

  -Do you believe that you are a billionaire, spiritually speaking? What might it look like practically if we grasped Jesus’ generosity to us, and let it overflow to others?
