Trusting Hearts

BIG IDEA:
Generosity grows your faith by taking a step of trust.
TEACHING POINTS:
  • Generosity starts with a step of trust.
  • We will have wind and wave moments where it’s hard to trust.
  • Jesus wants to grow our faith and trust in Him through generosity.
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 14:22-32 NLT
OPENING QUESTIONS:

  2. What is one thing that you are thankful for from last week?
  3. What is something that was stressful or difficult this week and how can we help?

IN THE WORD:
  1. Read Matthew 14:22-32 out loud from two different translations.

  3. What do you think it was like for Peter to step out on the water?

MAKING IT PERSONAL:

  2. How have you seen God be faithful through the generosity of yourself or others?
  3. How would you describe your generosity journey?
  4. How can we pray for you and for each other as we seek to have the right heart about generosity this week?
