Reflecting on Contentment

1.  What does "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6) mean in your daily life? How can you live this out?

2. When have you recently struggled with being content? What fueled that discontentment, and how can you redirect your focus to Christ?

4. Are there habits or practices in your life that prioritize wealth or possessions over godliness? How can you change those priorities?

The Danger of Discontentment

6.  Reflect on a time when you believed "just a little more" would make you happy. What was the outcome, and what did you learn?

Living Generously

7.   How do you view your money and possessions—as something to keep or a stewardship from God? How does this perspective affect your generosity?
