Jesus talks about money more than almost anything else. He regularly presses people to see that the way we handle our possessions tells us a lot about what we truly believe. That's why when someone asks Jesus to settle a property dispute, he instead tells a story about the danger of coveting. Greed and envy invade our lives and make us fools, like someone who looks for their life in money only to leave it behind when they die. The gospel can free us from the power of money—whether we have it or not!—and turn us into generous people because of our generous God.

1. Where do you see coveting, envy, or greed at work in your life? How does it affect your thoughts, emotions, and decisions?
2. Have you experienced a time when you got what you wanted but it didn't satisfy you the way you thought it would?
3. Does generosity come easy to you, or do you find it difficult? Why do you think that is?
4. How can the gospel can move you towards contentment and generosity in your life now?
