SHOW NOTES
Money can’t buy happiness, right? Funny thing is, most of us think we might be the exception and try anyway. Only to just become more stressed, anxious, and exhausted. But money actually can make us happy, if we understand true ownership.

03:02 Are we sure money can’t buy happiness?
05:20 Allowing money to make us happy, a Jesus story

Discussion Questions:
- Is talking about money a comfortable or an awkward experience for you? Why do you think that is?
- Read Jesus’ story again (Luke 15:16-21). What thoughts, feelings, and/or reactions did you have to this account?
- In what way(s) could giving up ownership of what you own change your view on money and even your life?
- Who and what can your group join you in praying for this week?
SHOW NOTES
Money can either bring happiness or stress and anxiety… but it has nothing to do with the amount we have. The key is in how we view it and use it.

01:13 Well, that’s a deep subject
03:00 How much would be enough?

- Read Matthew 6:21. In your own words, what do you think Jesus was getting at here? Have you ever experienced this dynamic in your life?

Show notes
Christianity is often presented as what you need to do in order to make God happy. But the life Jesus offers is about WHO you can be, not what you have to DO. How does that work? Can you really experience this new life? You can.

Show notes
Every part of our life gives us something to fear. This is a dangerous world and there always seems to be something new to be afraid of. We can try to ignore, numb, or control our fear but that only makes things worse. There is a better way. A way that allows us to experience peace and confidence no matter what is coming at us.

One of the first words that usually comes to mind when we hear “Christianity” or “church” is boredom. That’s understandable, but it wasn’t always this way. What happened? Can you really experience the excitement and adventure the first Jesus Followers experienced? You can.

Discussion Questions
- How have you seen God working in your life and world this week?
- What thoughts/feelings come up for you when you hear, “Our life isn’t meant to be spent on ourselves but to be purposely invested for others”?
- Read Mathew 6:19-21 and 1 Timothy 6:17-19. Why do you think generosity is such an important aspect of following Jesus?
- Jon encouraged us to evaluate our resources and advised us to “evaluate, adjust, invest, and trust” this week. What is something you want to do in response to this and how can your group pray for you in that response?
Show notes
For some reason, many Christians see themselves as the “moral police” of society. But Jesus has something better in mind for his followers… a way to experience love, peace, and hope and to share it with the world.
