- When public figures discuss their financial dealings, they regularly use the word “security.” The Contemporary English Version translates verse 15 as “Owning a lot of things won’t make your life safe.” What’s your definition of “security”? Do Jesus’ words challenge or affirm your definition?
- Who have you known who, as far as you could tell, had a “rich” relationship with God? What could you observe that helped that person build that kind of relationship? What impact, if any, has that person’s example had on your own spiritual life?
