Generous: Living Open-Handed | What Does Jesus Say About Money?
For three weeks, we’re going to explore what Jesus has to say about money. This week, we’re overhearing a conversation that a late-in-life Paul had with one of his churches. His last message to them was about money. He reminded them of the power of contentment, hard work and sharing with the weak.

- What has it looked like for you to share with the weak?
- What’s the most important piece of financial advice you’d like to share with your group?
